I think it's worth it.

I’m trying to understand if this situation is normal and if it's worth my time to pursue the tenants for the lost rent and damages.

@Manuel A Zuaznabarunderstand it's expensive / high barrier of entry but the midwest comes with issues tooi think it's worth itwhat you don't want to do is buy a random property that looks great and then start sinking tens of thousands into itlike these folkshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...

But if you start doing some research you'll see there's a ton happening under the surface.Price points are still quite low and you can still find solid cash flowing deals if you know what you're doing. 

Pay close attention to the capital stack, how much debt there is, how much preferred equity there is, how much the GP is co-investing, how much they project rents to rise organically every year, what exit cap rate they're assuming, how much cash reserves the property/investment will have, how much does the deal returns change when you add 50-200 bps to the cap rate, what is your breakeven occupancy and exit cap rate, and a bunch more. 

Lowering prices on slower days can fill in the gaps, and it’s also worth setting longer minimum stays in advance to mitigate low booking volume over time.In my experience, mid-week travelers are usually on the road for work—client meetings, interviews, conferences, that sort of thing.

While current deals may not seem to offer great cash flow, the increasing housing inventory and potential rate cuts next year could improve your prospects.

Pull cash buyers in your area from a data set or market it on social media.
