Looking to purchase an outdated 3 flat property in Lakeview that requires about $150K in rehab work (kitchens, bathrooms, new HVAC, siding, painting, flooring, etc.) 

But that assumes a rosy 5% appreciation...what happens if appreciation is flat?

Like everything using flat percentages is just for a quick analysis.  

Look for a discount broker that charges a flat fee to list it.

You typically will need to look at older and more established areas that had the need to build a lot of 2-4 flat buildings in the last 100 yrs..  

Seems like a win for Airbnb  if all that happens is few angry posts from hosts and likely happy guest ...With that said, I'd bake the cost in my pricing and or remove my listing feom Airbnb.

Id agree that the under 300k price range will be the hot spot and appreciate the most because its all thats affordable to a majority of the localsI guess if spending 300k on an SFR to rent for $1400/month gets your juices flowing, (with almost all the appreciation already baked in that lofty sales price), then you hit the jackpot...
