Car two nights ago pulled up at midnight (no muffler), eyeing my neighbors Element.

I truly would like to hear about other good markets, I talk to a lot of buyers here and its nice to know where Hawaii ranks. 

I seriously doubt that views with no bookings lower your ranking.

However, my experience was out in the field, living in the elements.

This is of course if Airbnb doesn't heavily penalize your ranking and you start losing bookings. 

So even elements that don’t appear damaged can be contaminated.

Now have them rank them.  

I recognize that our son may not be able to master the higher intellect elements of real estate investing, but with the right team around him (hopefully my older son and others), he could have a meaningful place in a family business that empowers him and gives him opportunities to have meaningful material contributions to his own life.

That's another big factor that Airbnb takes into account when determining your search ranking.

To reach the actual value of each square foot of above grade square footage you take the purchase price and subtract the value of all other elements such as land, basement, garage, site improvements etc...
