Are there any criteria I need to consider about this area which can throw my appreciation and rental increase way off?

I envision it to be perfect for a retreat or glamping/off grid Airbnb operation.

Hello -I live in Long Island, New York.I am exploring STR investments perhaps in markets near New York.Just having a very hard time starting off.

I've lived in my primary residence in Reynoldsburg, OH since 2015, house is almost paid off (just a few grand left).

Take off your shoes as you enter their home.

I bet this manager is ripping tenants off without owners knowledge. 

For example, if you refinanced your home at 7% interest and took 30 years to pay it off, it would cost you a total of $121,000 to pay it off, and you would be paying a much higher interest on your entire home loan. 

The tenant just paid off my underlying and now I have 400k or so they still owe me  on a 1.5 mil ARV in position..

prices and rates are high and there is lots of competition for deals, both on and off market. 

The bank from my understanding will be writing off a loss on this loan as there is not enough money to go around.Here is where it gets interesting, there is a second lien on the properties from a seller of a hotel that the current owner of the 21 unit bought seller finance. obviously there is not enough money to get this guy paid off as the bank is already taking a loss.
