I've been in it for the long haul and so far is has worked greatly for me. 

@Savannah Kennedy - too much uncertainty and risk, too many variables at play, and no one can really say whether things will truly turn around, or whether we are in this for the long haul. 

The city doesn’t do large furniture collection and I have to get someone to haul that away.

All the best If you buy right, manage right in east cleveland versus san diego which would do better over a 15 year haul? 

But your experience with the biggest one will still be only as good as the regional or local rep assigned to you.Track record, references, demonstrated experience over the long haul, and personal fit with you will steer you to the right QI. 

U-haul is a typo, there is a digit missing it should be $21k. 

Many say they know how to underwrite them and get them funded, but few actually do.Your offer and terms for the buyer sound good, if he agrees to the terms.I'll state again, I'm not a big fan of a 6% cap rate unless there is SIGNIFICANT upside to be realized in the immediate future, and additional value over the long haul, but each investor sees a different intrinsic value in a deal.Keep me posted!

Why use all of your money if you don't have to. 

We also really enjoyed all of the water toys: kayak, stand up paddleboard, inflatable island, etc.What are the details you've loved or hated in an STR?

Has any landlord here ever had to evict a morbidly obese bisexual drug addict, her fetishist feeder boyfriend, and all their sex toys and vintage fat-fetish porn VHS video collection?
