With this though, I'll be responsible for all CAM, property taxes, heating, cooling, cleaning, snow removal, Internet, water/garbage.

You've got some of the basics but I would suggest the following:- Internet & TV - Roku Smart TV, Sling TV and Netflix are some options you can explore.- Basic pots & pans for cooking- Coffee maker and filters- Salt & Pepper- Utensils, plates, bowls, cups and glasses, coffee mugs (pyrex is inexpensive and durable)- Cooking utensils like large spoons, spatula and basic cooking knives.- Paper products such as toilet paper, a bag of paper napkins, 1 paper towel roll to start them off.

Hi @Christopher BellI think when you don't write on specific people tend to pass on the requests. it is too broad just saying hey I am looking for a house.You might get more answers with specifics.Good Luck!!!

@Jason TresslerI had a bnb in the broad ripple area (on kessler) and it brought in more than 3x rent could have.

You can make that argument to a stranger on the internet until your fingers are numb, I just hope you don’t ever have to use that in front of a judge.

There are a lot more factors than taking internet advice.

Most of the numbers I've gotten are from reading books or internet research.I've set my criteria to 3 BR 1+ bath SFR's that I can purchase with >$200 cash flow and 12% ROI.The property in the photos was listed at ~187K.

And not one that’s recommended by every dick and harry on the Internet.

Then you want to figure out all the typical short term rental expenses (furnishings, cable, internet, utilities, possibly management) and factor in your mortgage and heloc payment.This should give you a good idea of your yearly and monthly profit

That's a broad brush statement, which, like most of its kind, is not true.
