How do you calculate the revenue on this?

I guess my biggest concern is having a $500,000 loan and only $830 coming in.

.- Image quality- Build quality- Feature setThese are the biggest difference points. 

@Deborah Repaskey Buying a house that is 70 years old is getting better every year, one of the biggest issues with older homes tends to be knob and tube wiring or plumbing that isn't copper, both of these really started to be changed to modern standards starting in the 50s so that decade can sometimes be a mixed bag but those are going to be your primary concern unless someone hasn't replaced a major system like a roof in 70 years. 

@keila Hmm I would say seek out a cosigner and offer them part ownership of the home or revenue from rent.

Some pockets in Lawrence are appealing to me (although I know there are some rough areas), but one of my biggest concerns is vacancy.

Do you hope to get enough subscribers to make Revenue from ads or something?

Short stay rentals can generate crazy high gross revenue.

The biggest issue is regarding non-owner occupied single family dwellings.

@Caleb HeimsothThose two aren’t even the biggest money makers.
