I have a great property in PHX that we have listed for sale, but I would be interested in running an RAL out of my house (already furnished, 5 bed 3 bath, single story ranch style home with two master bedrooms and a pool). 

Reston is a truly masterfully planned community, with 55 miles of paved pathways, tennis courts and pools in every neighborhood, and several beautiful lakes that make the area very attractive to live in for residents.

Quote from @Arvin Poole: Hello,I am seeking a HELOC on a duplex in Austin.

But that's a smaller pool of buyers here. 

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.

I’m comfortable sacrificing a bit on revenue in exchange for steady cash flow, lower expenses, and fewer headaches.However, if you come across a standout property with a pool and great amenities in Scottsdale, it could be very beneficial during spring training or for bachelor/bachelorette parties.

On the other hand, single-family (typically) provides a tenant pool that can be more manageable and longer leases, and I am assuming maintenance and capex could be on a smaller scale, but I could be wrong on that. 

Therefore, you're getting a really, really shallow pool that can qualify but BP pushes this REI as if it was the yesteryears to where most could qualify. 

Talk about how good the schools are, how close to the beaches or other attractions, Size/type of kitchen, ease of maintenance of swimming pool if in place or jet powered swim lane, Covered parking if so, etc. 

I probably won't book any place that does not have instant booking turned on in the future.If I am not mistaken, instant book is a search criteria on one of the platforms, and if you are not doing that, then your pool of potential customers is smaller by some degree.
