There has been so much AirBnB panic over the last year and a half, yet I have not experienced any of it personally, actually the opposite.We changed our pricing strategy for 2024 based on some market analysis from the previous year in an effort to increase lead times, average stay, and ultimately revenue. 

- Current income- Hope of price appreciation- Vacation home to go to- Future retirement home- Store of value/hedge against inflation- Generational gift to the family- Alternative to traditional retirement investmentsI'll go first. 

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

So in that respect it is a good option, and location is also very good.These are all studio apartments with a living area of 392 SF (not too bad from Waikiki standard), however the price in this building has already gone much higher over the past few year.

They think every other deal they come across is priced $50,000 below market value2.

Properties with a purchase price under $500,000 may not see as significant benefits, but we have performed studies on properties with a purchase price as low as $150,000, so it’s really a case by case basis.Properties in which you intend to hold it for a short period of time:If you plan to hold the properties for less than 5 years, you may want to consider depreciation recapture.

Ex (random numbers pulled out of thin air)$100k purchase $160k ARV$30k reno but $20k at cost$15k holding costsTotal Cost:$145k cost or $135k with contractorWith the contractor at cost, I have an extra $10k of margin where I don't lose money, but obviously not ideal for the contractor since they would make less.I think a good way to price it would be the equity would equal your profit if you did a fee construction at slightly below the projected ARV, and slightly below the projected hold time.

Assuming the property is appraised at $650,000.00 I am hoping the equity will get my LVT to 75% eliminating the PMI, adding to the potential cash flow when I go to rent and then putting that cash flow + personal savings away to raise capital to buy another piece of property.I realize that in order to buy my next piece of property I will want to put down 20% to avoid PMI and a high mortgage but saving 20% for a piece of property in my area is going to take some time due to the high price ranges $500,000-$700,000.

Average price in West Houston is around $314k, but wondering if I should look for something in the $250k range.

I used to work for Japanese company and have know many friends who lived in Japan and spoke great Japanese and it seemed like about every 3 months they would have some kind of really mind altering experience culturally that was disturbing, so probably not an easy place to live or invest, even if the opportunity is there.Argentina I think prices/trades their real estate in $, so less currency risk.
