The pronouncement that no money is needed - except of course to pay for the mentorship program3.

Non paying tenants(as a newbie I did no screening), dead tenants, Silly fines from the city for nothing, attempted robberies where I ended up with the cops pulled guns on me. 30 recently released convicts as neighbors for a while, a jacked up 7' tall transvestite call girl/drug dealer was my least favorite neighbor.

My property is located in a C+/B- neighborhood has the following landmarks nearby: -1.5 miles from a major university with a popular D1 NCAA college basketball team-1.5 miles from a children's museum-1.5 miles from an art and nature museum-1.5 miles from a beautiful nature parkIt's the dead of winter, and I'm wondering who I can market and how I can best market my property to on Airbnb.
