My units don't come with refrigerators but for $25 a month more I will supply a basic unit.  19 cubic foot, no icemaker, no water in door, etc.

I enjoy the guaranteed rent and higher rents than most regular properties with a "normal" tenant.

Depending on how upscale your finishes really were, you could have that built in this market for 300 to 325 per square foot fairly easily right now.

So my folks that I fund do the normal stuff SEO  Direct Mail text and ( what I did) telemarketing. 

I'm thinking lots in Mexico are probably normally cash buys, so if you can solve that obstacle for someone, you broaden your buyer pool. 

Where rates are currently are normal rates over the last 100 years or so.

I was doing non recourse SIDRA loans and the students would put 50% down and I would fund the balance.. normally sold 20 to 30 homes that last day and I probably financed 10 of them or so..

Quote from @Jinglei Shen: I am building my investment portfolio(duplex) in Ohio Cleveland, a few properties i have analyzed  with net cashflow  around $100 to $290 here is one deal I am analyzingDuplex generates $1590 income /month together,purchase price $123,000rate 7.5%, downpayment 25%5% vacancy, 10% mgm fee, $1400/year insurance,10% capex, 5% maintenance,COC is 8.73%monthly net cash $277this deal meets1% rule, bring in positive cash, my question is it in normal range in Ohio Cleveland market? 

Normally an annual STR revenue at 20% of purchase price would provide solid COC.  

If a market is abnormally profitable, it's going to attract more entrants, which will push profitability back to normal levels.
