@Chris BinghamYou have a couple of choices depending on the situation.  

My first choice is Newark since it has a younger demographic and nearby state parks.

You may consider using minimal equity from the existing home to finance the same scenario that worked well for you on this one, get in early on a choice lot to a $350k new build sfh community.

Once you are comfortable and have enough for the downpayment and sufficient reserves, get started! 

You chose to manage on your own to save 10% a year which sounds like a smart choice...until feces hits the rotating oscillator.

Based on what I read and the way I understand it, the new cleaning protocol and buffer time will be an "opt-in" choice for hosts, where they get "preferential treatment" by Airbnb if they do so, but not a mandatory situation.

Agent would be the best first choice as it's their profession and they'll be able to screen those people for you.

If mathematical, consider the interest rates when you make these choices. 

@Twana Rasoul @Josue GudinoI agree and to add to that self sufficiency rule, we ran into that being an issue and had to put about 10% down instead of the 3.5% but it’s still lower than 20-25% down on an investment property.I’ll try to explain it the best I can for our property.

The income from that property is sufficient to produce a net return of about 13 percent on the investment.Apartment-House GameSenator Copeland.
