Inventory seems low, and I am trying to househack my first unit.

In my area, they charge transfer tax on the assessed value rather than the LOW sale price.

I have noticed competitors charge as low as 10 to 15% but their quality isn't the best and then I have seen others charge 25 to 30% We remain in the middle and provide a small business experience with super host status.

Because, it's way too low. 

Quote from @Michael Daniel: @Jaycee Greene these are low income areas however there's a lil room for rent increase but not much. 

•If your real estate broker’s license allows you to handle evictions, advertising low-cost eviction services can be one of the best lead generators.

In some cases, federal tax credits like those for low-income housing or economic development might also apply if the project aligns with certain goals.Instead of buying the land outright, developers often lease it from the tribe, which can reduce upfront costs and sometimes come with favorable lease terms.

And not only that, my cash flow on my new properties was low or sometimes zero.

And a high in high season!

No reserves, Income may be good, credit on the low side and NO Equity in the home.
