And, considering market shifts.. what’s your approach to minimizing risks over the next two years? 

Holding Costs - My experience with owner financing is that I can buy and sell a property in a month or less since the rehab is minimal and I'm providing the financing.

I love the idea and its really quite nice because the costs are minimal and upside is huge.

With that said I am looking to do minimal work to renovate the home such as painting and adding new appliances.

Not the nicest areas, but nice enough.. and I would be looking for minimal cashflow, banking on appreciation. 

Our website was just OK, our email campaigns were hit and miss, our conference presence was fairly minimal. 

., but for now, we like to only consider semi-stabilized (with minimal deferred maintenance) or fully stabilized, cash-flowing properties. 

I've asked my clients a similar question and have developed tools for them to minimize this, but I find there are a few different types of clients.Manager managed - these folks have no issues as they simply upload their year end statement from their property manager, their 1098 mortgage statement and any other one-off expenses they may have paid for outside of the management company. 

At least that is my experience in my market, where almost everything is 60+ years old and has un-permitted illegal work.If you just want to close on time with minimal hassle?

For this unit I am going for a more affordable choice for the travelers in the area, more so more of a homey feeling whilst my first airbnb I am going for more of an upscale experience but not sure yet.
