If you're keeping an eye on the U.S. housing market, you've probably noticed some pretty interesting shifts happening lately.

My ability to picture and design something pleasing to the eye is lacking--a tool like this would be helpful, especially for ideation of what "could be."

Personally, I wouldn't totally disagree, but it is very much in the eyes of the beholder what "nice place to live" means.Based on your post, I would assume you are getting requests because you are a new landlord (maybe the old one was not a kind person, so tenants chose not to make any requests) and that you are asking them to pay more rent for a unit that is likely in worse condition than when they moved in.So now, you can either tell them no, or you can accommodate and potentially open up pandoras box of setting expectations that you will cater to all requests all the time, or as noted, you can remove yourself from the equation and hire a PM to handle the requests.  

Criminal past and eviction history are key, but number 1 for me is looking someone in they eye and making a decision with all of the reports on my tool belt!

Energy tax incentives were expanded and extended through 2032.Be sure to keep an eye out for any changes to 1031 exchanges and capital gains tax rates.Buy, Borrow, and Die StrategyA great estate planning strategy for transferring wealth and minimizing taxes is the Buy, Borrow and Die Strategy.Buy: Purchase multi-family properties that are appreciating in value.Borrow: Use HELOCs or cash out refinancing to pull equity out of the property as it appreciates.

So, like Chris said, there is no way that Airbnb does NOT impact the market, but it's impact, in my eyes, is grossly overstated, at a high level.

Thanks This thread caught my eye as about 2-3 weeks ago as I had an out of state investor reach out to me asking my advice on the same situation.
