There are about a dozen different neighborhoods that are considered Near Eastside.  

You can easily (I guess that is an assumption on my part without knowing where you live) find someone here on BP who you can pick their brain for the cost of a cup of coffee and figure out best steps as you get started.I have owned about two dozen homes in the area this house is listed and I can tell you that the challenges are real and they are steep to making a passive investment work in this area.  

So make sure to assess your risk tolerance as well. 

I recently received the property tax bill and a notice of proposed real property assessment for 2021.

The local paper had an article about it:https://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/housing/tom-kacich-apartment-landlords-call-for-lower-tax-assessments-amid/article_b8b70990-e3b7-5f57-bd2b-a9a0689150a5.html

Additionally, the private label website generation is dead simple and allowed me a better way to have past guests book direct, save the 10-20% on the platform fees, and avoid scrolling past dozens of competing spaces on the way to re-booking mine. 

I would look only one month ahead for to assess for occupancy. 

However, in our market the tax appraisals office usually doesn't assess the property at full market value. 

If you house was assessed for 109K in Schenectady, your city and school taxes would be right around $6,000.

I understand that it may be difficult for you to thoroughly assess the deal through a post like this but your opinion and advice would be much appreciated.
