This is higher than the $161/night national average as reported by the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) in their 2018 industry report, but considering the fact that a king bed accommodation at a preferred hotel runs anywhere from $135-$170/night in this area, a luxury 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath accommodation at $225/night seems to be competitive. 

How much capital are you committing?

You didn't mention property management, vacancy rate, repairs, or capital expenses.

Our buy and hold model is to buy homes in Columbus Ohio with private capital, stabilize the asset, and then refinance to put more permanent financing in place. 

I'm wondering if anyone has worked with JWB Real Estate Capital in Jacksonville, FL. 

@Mary JayIt's difficult to get started without access to capital. 

I'd nail an eviction notice to your friend's front door so fast her head would spin, and do everything in my power to make absolutely sure that an eviction ended up recorded permanently in Prince George's County books, so that any search in the future would expose it.And then your friend would never be able to sign a lease in the USA to live in any apartment where national record checks are run on possible tenants.

I do not have a lot of capital at my disposal to get into a top-notch neighborhood or a higher priced property, but am looking to put the little I have to work and build from there. 

If you are lacking Capital and/ or a Partnership Arangement that does, then your ABILITY TO PERFORM is restricted. 

Then, keep doing whatever you're doing in life with regards to working, etc, and getting yourself access to capital.
