Both are pretty much the same area and share the same characteristics.

so assuming someone wants to get into STR business without buying property, operating a arbitrage business rather than co hosting should only be considered if there are greater profits, enough to provide a sufficient return on the additional invested capital and offset the greater risk.My conclusion is that Investing in residential properties in which the property owner chooses to rent short term, and starting a STR arbitrage business, are two different animals.  

Real estate is a different animal, you can't expect to start in real estate and start rolling in cash within the first month.

JUST bought the property and its honestly not conduce to having animals due to the layout, its on a busy, non-fenced in street, and I'd prefer this to be animal/pet free.

But, if you go to a place like NYC, it's an entirely different animal.

She may one day display the requisite qualities and characteristics, and commitment to also make sacrifices.I figured I would provide some visibility into our relationship/situation, because some of what you have communicated has been spoken at times by my loving wife. 

In other words, in New York, an applicant for an apartment can tell you that he or she is planning to live in the apartment by his or herself, go through and clear your background check, move in, and then permit another person with a criminal record (or any other undesirable rental history characteristic) to move in. 

Charge a traditional security deposit, then increase it for the animal.

However, real estate also offers many unique characteristics that other types of investing don't have the ability to offer.
