Is there a target average daily rental rate that we should be aiming for to make a selling price like $550k work? 

Then cross-reference is to other airbnb listings as far as average daily rates and what their calendar looks like from an occupancy standpoint, i.e. how booked up are they? 

All these forms of investing require one to set up systems and daily rituals to work their systems while refining their systems.  

It is one of the only cities that has daily ferry service to San Francisco, Mare Island the former Naval yard is being converted to breweries and movie studios (Netflix & Paramount) and the average income is rising while the average age of residents is declining along with the crime rate.

3 roommates or family...in the case of a family the tub is almost essential for toddlers and they are bathed daily.

I love my job, the people I get to meet on a daily basis and helping them.

Keep in mind that most of the time it's not the daily coffees and such that hit your savings capability the most. 

i've been studying my market for quite sometime and have also been reading and listening to the BP podcast daily. thanks 

At BP, not only can you network with other real estate investors, you can learn from the informative forums posted daily on the site, find properties that are for sale, and take free courses.

I do agree that finding deals and managing from abroad could be a challenge...I do this on a daily basis as a project manager so I think I can make it work if it comes to that.
