From 9-5, I work in data & analytics at one the largest banks in the US.

Even the largest, most expensive one at my Walmart is only $180.

And on your days off, if you are in a nice place, you go out to see what the area has to offer as far as recreation.

In fact the largest apartment owners in town only do new construction.

One tip - look to see how many people own their homes on the street, it helps.Also Remember East Oakland is the largest part of Oakland and it encompasses everything south of lake Merritt to San Leandro.

I'm now a PM and have a couple of investors who have townhomes and they are very happy with the management of the complex--it doesn't hurt that one of the largest investors in the community is also the on-site manager, so he is really looking out to protect his own investment and in turn is protecting those of my clients.  

For 18 units for my largest building it’s going to be $40K for running gas lines, 18 heaters, placing the heaters, placing the tank, digging the trench for the line to the tank from the building and reburying it, and having the propane company out to test all the units.

Regardless, make sure your city and neighborhood that you are investing in have different types of STR travel demographics.For example, here in Tampa not only do we have theme park and beach tourism (#5 ranked beaches by TripAdvisor in the world in 2021), we have educational tourism (one of the largest universities - USF and then UT), and also medical tourism (we have some of the best hospitals in the country especially for outpatient services).

LOL #3- pending,  but lots of data- buyer agents steering clients to the largest co-broke commissions.
