Does almost everything and is affordable.

Best bet for you and them is for them to find a more affordable arrangement.

Even with 20% down on a 4-500k house you can earn 15% or more plus appreciation and depreciation.With multifamily or mixed use even more.I hate to be negative but this deal is ok if you own $100m of real estate already and can afford the risk, not for someone starting out or even mid level, including myself.

I'm over in Telluride and the Town is using STRs as a scapegoat for all of the affordable housing issues the town ignored for years.

I live in Los Angeles, CA and looking just outside of the main city to find properties that  are a little more affordable.

Right now you have buyers outbidding other buyers, but they both want to live in the home and unlike last time, the buyers can actually afford the home they are purchasing. 

Clearly in the current market getting in at a condo/townhome/attached unit is much more affordable on purchase price on a standalone cabin most of the time.

It seems as if there a shadow of foreclosures ready to happen once the rug is pulled out of people who have not been able to afford there properties. 

Personally, I have no idea why people that can't afford to pay for their own housing need to keep 3 dogs, but it seems to be the case. 

You can't afford to go off second hand information.
