I have stayed at Airbnb's in Rome and Naples, and there are Airbnbs of course, but you really need to speak and learn the system.

I would consider staying with your parents and investing in another market that stretches your dollar and covers the cost of a professional property manager.

Alwasy stay on top of your properties and investements.

The guest stayed in the summer. 

Unfortunately, for the time being, I do need to stay in New York.

If staying in the deal isn’t ideal for you, an equity buyout by your partner or another investor could be the simplest path.

Also no credit reporting, so I signed up for Landlord Credit Bureau at my expense.Hope this helps, for now I’ll be staying with Hemlane.

However, I've learned a lot from that experience and am willing start over again- Make sure you stay on the top of them and fully account for the draws being taken as if they (Builder) have multiple projects I've seen where one individual's draw gets comingled with another property.

If I am all in on the property for 360k (purchase and some finishing construction as well as carry costs) and the home is valued at 450k or more (based on what im told by agents as well as my own analysis while staying conservative), that is 20%+ equity I believe, unless I am missing something.
