That reminds me that I'd heard someone had bought really "normal" homes, but had themed them and it was really successful. 

Also normal is a pre-payment penalty.  

The sellers realtor said they had a cash offer after our contract was signed, we don't know if this is true but even so is this the new normal for a multihome?

I sell my left over houses usually on ZERO % financing like right now I have 2 in cleveland i would do that with.. great deal for someone who can handle larger than normal payments and wants to own them free and clear in a few short years.

It removes your listing during normal government hours and then puts it back on all the sites after 5pm (city enforcers go home for the day and normal people start booking). 

I'd pay a lot more for a Star Wars room with a slide than a nice/normal/clean house when traveling with kids.Keep the kid/family ideas coming.

Normal price is $110/month. 

Is this normal considering the climate or is it lender based. 

I am not sure about the exact life, but it stands up pretty well to normal wear. 

There is no guarantee that the building will turn market and should you want to evict a tenant, it can take up to a year under normal circumstances; with COVID, it looks closer to 1.5 years+.Unless you have really deep pockets, like Uncle Scrooge McDuck pockets, hard pass.
