With or without science, my experience is valid enough for me and has and will continue to influence where and how I invest in Real Estate.

The sale should always go through a reputable title company where they handle the funds in an escrow account. 

That's where this house was in Denver.

The jomax location has more of a rural feel where lookout mountain is completely built out.

I am particularly interested in purchasing my first investment property as a short-term rental (STR).After analyzing recent data from AirDNA, I have identified several promising areas: Douglas, Saugatuck, Fennville, and I am also exploring opportunities around Stevensville and New Buffalo.I understand that regulations around STRs vary widely, and I've taken the time to study city maps to identify areas where they are still permitted.

Find a dialer, like Mojo, where you can call 3 people at once - way more efficient.

Also you may have a different liability situation outside of an Airbnb guest where you wouldn't have coverage if only relying on the Airbnb policy. 

First determine where the nails are actually coming from.

Personally, I wouldn't live somewhere where I have people living above me as I am sensitive to noise.
