Have been an observer following this thread since it opened and hope the dialog continues over the remainder of 2017 with updates from Tyler.

Had you posted primarily about note buying, I would not have replied at all because my only exposure to that is the PPR note class and observations from the class the notes appear to sell for market value or above.  

Find out about the neighbor having access to the rooftop deck of the auction property. 

To be clear I am not saying buy bitcoin and these are just my own personal observations. 

@Robert QuirozHi Robert,Just an observation... you have "higher cash on cash returns" under all cash deals - it depends on how you view that.  

That's been my observation.

I’d love to hear from those with more experience to see if my observations align with yours and if there are tips for managing costs or maximizing the benefits of mid-term rentals. 

@Jay Hinrichs always has some helpful tips/advice/observations.

I observe investors dismissing so many properties that fail to meet this arbitrary standard but perform far better than properties that pencil as "1" properties" on an excel spreadsheet. 

Zillow doesn't tell the story I shared on the 19119 zip code but driving the neighborhood, walking properties,  observing the daily routines of those who live there and listening to residents articulate their wants and needs does.
