Unfortunately STR mixed with homeowners and families don't work well together, even in rural areas.Outside of the destination type spots for AirBNBs, I do have a few that are in very, very good areas of their respective cities.

It seems disingenuous to label on type of investing as speculative and dangerous. 

I think maybe our family has reached the tipping point where it's wortwhile.JThink about something very bad happening at your property (think fatality or permanent disabilities) and then ask yourself what an attorney might sue you for in that type of scenario.  

I am thinking about turning my half bath into a full bath.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

There was some type of default issue where the loan has to be brought back in good standing.3. 

From that you either can offset or add to your AGI or capital gains depending on which type of gain it is.

I can wholesale just about any type of property that I get under contract with a couple of phone calls.

This is all assuming some type of rowhome style of construction, which may not apply to you.Beyond that, I have had success with my single family rentals.  

Not every lender is certified to offer this type of service. 

Unfortunately, a lot of investors first starting out (myself included) tend to focus on finding motivated sellers in these types of communities and then try to talk to the park manager and/or owner to make sure they can do business there.
