I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps? 

We actually keep a pantry pretty well stocked with basics:  tea, coffee, cleaning supplies & laundry stuff, cup of noodles, ramen, soup, oatmeal packets, microwave popcorn, spices, bottled water, lemonade mix/crystal light, etc.  

There are certain areas of KC that play more towards appreciation and there are off market deals that generate good cash flow and appreciation. 

The experience was really bad as I was getting 1-2 year old leads to cold call that I knew had a 0% success rate and I do much better generating leads organically on my own.

And when someone tries to clean it up, he’s attacked with the most childish and ridiculous name calling possible.  

Account Closed You can do automated lead generation in several ways, depending on whether you're looking for seller leads, buyer leads or private lender leads.Seller Leads: (1) Lead Swiper (online lead search with dozens of targeted searches), (2) Instant Leads -- direct access to listed properties nationwide with a click (3) OfferBot, automated offer making software (I use this every day) (4) Direct Mail Connect (upload your own list or use lists out of Freedomsoft) -- my team manages a ton of direct mail in my real estate business using this, (5) SMS lead generation (I use this every day)...and that's just scratching the surface.Buyer Leads: (1) Nationwide Cash Buyer database (millions of buyer records at the click of a mouse) -- including buyer name, address and all property addresses they've bought including closing dates and prices paid

I definitely want to have that long-term mindset and buy a property/house hack that focuses on appreciation, but can also generate some positive cash-flow after I move out.

I recently used it to generate custom images for my STR coaching Powerpoint material. 

I would like to start generating some passive-income and start with some residential properties in my initial portfolio.   

that will not cash flow - you won't be generating "cash flow" from the property that will go beyond servicing the debt and allow you to pay down any principal.
