While cash flow can be nice to see each month, it can be fleeting and inconsistent.

Purchase price: $814,000 37-Unit - HUD Section8 HAP MultifamilyOverall the project was situated decently well at closing, occupancy was mid ~85%, and overall the property was in very nice condition.

It's so nice to have that safety net.

The thing is huge and just sucks to have it sitting empty outside of me hanging out in there with a couple beers and a TV on nice days. 

Put down a nice piece of sheet vinyl.

They have other nice benefits also such as not charging for appraisals if the deal doesn’t close, a great reputation amongst local listing agents with meeting deadlines/ great customer service/ getting the job done with no b.s. and they can often close in under 14 days. 

This entire conversation in my opinion comes into play for a group or entity that may have 50-100 STR's where the branding will matter more but to be honest from what we have seen when they get that large they usually have lack luster service and subpar reviews- in the end someone that is 1031'ing mostly cares about that cash flow at that level and that's why and mostly only why they care about buying a brand. 1-15 units and a brand is nice but in my opinion wont break a deal- we are trying to do it but in the end its more for our guests to have a simple streamlined way to book with us.

They see it online, it’s nice inside, but the street it’s on is rough.

Send written letters, nice stationary, handwritten envelope, explaining why you selected his property and what your vision is for it.

Toledo, Cleveland, and Dayton would get you a nice turnkey property at that price point
