I was either channeling my inner @Steve Vaughan and taking a nap or driving through Kansas and MO with triple digits on the car thermometer -- the nap sounds better.

As I am starting out, I can´t help but imagine the possibilities of driving forward more natural building (cob, straw bale, hemp, etc.) in regards to investing in real estate.

Your location is an important factor on rentals as well as nearby amenities and the retail development near there. 

But it really is all relative and there's a bunch more factors beyond the numbers that are important that I have no knowledge of.   

Reviews drive rankings and rankings drive future bookings, so flexibility (as long as schedule allows) can go a long way. 

I had a drive way removed for 400 dollars today.  

I didn't factor in the extra money for selling costs of 1.5%, so I will go back and make that adjustment to my calculator.

Key factors:  a) the terms of your rental agreement (lease); b) the landlord-tenant law for your jurisdiction;c) other laws and ordinances for your jurisdiction.Do you have a month-to-month rental agreement or a long-term lease?

I'm expecting high equity on this property, so did something I generally don't do - I factored in 0% PM, which probably isn’t a good idea, but I plan on managing myself for the first year or two, and depending on the market, will either increase rent or sell.

Every time I drive for dollars, I meet and hand out my card to contractors of all trades.
