For example, you can always have Costco or Target home delivery drop off a pack of toilet paper or whatever with relative ease and expedience compared to some place in the boonies. 

In my area, hotel business statistical reports have coincided nicely with how my airbnb business flows as far as which months will be busy and which will be slow.In addition to the regular real estate expenses, factor in cost of utilities, cable/internet, lawn service if it applies, and decide which amenities you'll provide: coffee, creamer, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.

I also put in several toilets, water heaters, and modernized the heating system.

If I want to take a "working vacation" for two months in another state or country, I have the freedom to do that because other people manage my rentals, mow my lawns, and snake my toilets.

SF job went down the toilet and know we are back in SJ.

Hi, all-- We had an issue with one of our rental properties regarding the brand-new toilet that we installed about 3 months ago.

We're doing real well with both of them right now - the first one because we bought it when the market was in the toilet and we just got lucky on the second one.
