If after adding the additional monthly recurring costs (electricity, gas, water, internet, insurance, lawn care, snow plowing, etc.) to the standard long-term costs (Mortgage, taxes, regular insurance, etc.) the property won't net at least $100 if I can get the average rent I see on FF for that area, then the property isn't worth more investigation.

We’ve had great success with our listings, regularly achieving 5x the market average ADR on Airbnb and receiving frequent offers from local realtors to purchase.We’re now considering scaling up with a new project and have been approached by a friend who’s interested in partnering with us, providing financing for renovations.
