ThanksI bet that's a good short term rental market!

Read other reviews from a few year ago on other sites from people who have tried to locate him.

I do see a ton of 2 unit houses on Zillow, so would it be a good bet that these are landlords trying to unload their stock before student housing regs kick in?

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

What those "trainer" can do is just hire people to write some fake reviews. 

I bet if they found a subsurface problem, I would own those. :-)ps.

Your best bet for that size will be local banks and credit unions, good luck.

Kitchens and bathrooms are always a good bet, but think beyond the basics.

The main drivers1) Local Inventory2) 10 year treasury(macro)3) Personal Debt levels(macro)4) Real Unemployment(not the unemployment number but real white collar job loss ratio'd to part time jobs). 5) Industry proliferation(can't tell me a tech or finance hub moves like a health hub).To tell me #2 will derive from the same inputs as it did in Sep/Oct, I'm willing to bet it won't.

Otherwise, rent-by-room is probably your best bet.
