You can't only evaluate the ROI across the board because if you don't choose a good property, understand the metrics, and have good cleaners and management support, you will lose quickly in Airbnb.

Oftentimes, when there are too many options, individuals end up not choosing anything.

This does not benefit our long term goals at this time and we choose experts in these areas so we can focus on our strengths.If you have a 3rd party PM do they use a trust account or do you write the checks and pay the bills?

I’d first choose the type of market (such as beach or cabin) and then narrow from there.

Basically that little piece of paper states that the owner of the property, can if they choose to, rent it out to however many individuals noted by said township/borough. 

From the first point of contact, to coming out for bids, to negotiating and understanding pricing, to choosing materials, to timelines, and everything in between, up until the end.

Please don’t try to sway me one way or another or don’t talk about me being good or bad for whatever way I do choose.

So make sure whoever you choose the next go around adhere's to them.

Maybe start by considering what are the reasons that led you and your wife to choose house hacking a duplex?
