Did the market change?

(Example: investing for long-term capital growth for your kids education in 15 years, you have $200K to play with, you want to be an active investor in a market within 3 hours of you).

Reciprocity is key to building lasting relationships.As you look to expand into short-term rentals (STRs), research the market thoroughly, understand local regulations, and consider whether you want to handle property management yourself or hire a professional.Remember, growing a real estate portfolio takes time and persistence.

I'm not in the PA market, but it's always nice to understand the context of the costs provided.

I ask this question among many others in the initial questionnaire.  

We did use a high-grade vinyl plank flooring over the concrete floor down there, just in case, but years later we can say there have been no more water issues.We also plumbed in and installed a laundry room, purchasing twin pairs of coin-op Speed Queens.All of those renovations allowed us to go up-market a bit, from the prior $160/week to $180/week within the first few weeks on the incremental rehabbed units.

That would be like me posting my rentals on my own website in the hopes that I get more exposure than on Zillow or Apartments.com.Consider it a marketing expense. 

You basically outlined your issues and no one can help you with that. 1) The market is the market.
