So, offering them to just anyone and everyone will slow down our operation so unfortunately just freely offering our resources isn't feasible.Not comparing us to Apple haha but if someone wanted to build an iPhone themselves, I doubt Apple would give them contact details to their supplier in China or bank contacts in Ireland to avoid US taxes lol 

So we need to compare apples to apples.  

Gee, the apple didn't fall far from that tree, did it?

Previous comment....PS companies with ZERO DEBT: American Express, Apple, Citrix Systems, Amazon, Bed, Bath & Beyond, TRowe Price, Red Hat, AutoDesk, and MasterCard.Pretty interesting that TWO major companies thats entire philosophy is marketing the use of debt as a tool are debt free (AMEX & Mastercard)...My comment..Fyi- I did a quick look at Amex's financials and their 12/31/14 balance sheet is showing $138 billion of liabilities.

I am not sure that you would be comparing apples to apples on rent vs. rent including utilities.  

Seattle is notoriously hard on owners/hosts, and the last thing you want is a potential bad apple playing the "eviction game" with you, tying up your property for an extended amount of time thout cash flow.

Also, if we get to zero or negative interest rates, do you feel that shorting the equities market like Apple, FB, and the others with huge cash positions will be a valid and lucrative play?

Compare apples to apples. 

Since it looks simply at the purchase price / value & gross yearly rents its easy to compare apples to apples and evaluate the quality of one investment compared to another, without different loan options and different cash outlays skewing the numbers too much.PS: I'll second what others have said - when executed right, BRRRR is amazing :)

Opened up a hard apple cider bar 20 minutes south of Atlanta GA back in 2018.
