An investor in a neighboring building just rented a Studio apt for $475, excluding utilities.  3% deals in Bing/JC, not 2%...Good luck!                   

Thanks @Matt McCourry  I'll look that book up on Amazon. 

We currently invest in rental properties in our home state of Wisconsin but are looking into possibly purchasing a 1-bedroom or studio condo in Lincoln Park in Chicago, right near the zoo (with a great zoo view and bit of a lake view), with the intent of trying out AirBnB and other short term rental sites for the first 6 months-year of owning the property due to it's location. 

If its true that "we get paid in direct proportion to the complexity of problems we solve", I want our real estate ventures to help communities solve as many problems as we can.Having worked at Amazon the past two years, I'm particularly excited about where they'll announce their HQ2 location.

If you purchase a new bed, fence, grill, cabinets or cleaning supplies (or whatever) say on Amazon for the property, you can't split payments with two separate cards for the improvement.

All in at 13,000 Euros.. this studio can be AIR BNB'd for 50 Euros/night Lessons learned?

@Shaun HoodIf you have any 1bds or studios in Columbus those do great with STR!

Most recently serving as the Senior Show Set Manager for Universal Creative's Core Studio where I oversaw the team that was responsible for all of the concept show set drawing packages for all new attractions for the various Universal theme parks around the world.

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).
