Typically Core assets are used for solid relatively risk free capital growth, value add and opportunistic assets essentially utilize stabilization strategies to generate optimal terminal value at disposition.At the end of the day its all about risk/reward.

Also, I only provide w/d hookups, as that is two less appliances I have to maintain (but your market may be different; here they are not expected).

Another tip: get Daniel Rusteen’s book, How to Optimize Your AirBnB.

I have seen how hot tubs can look at STRs even with this in practice and I for one will not be using a hot tub where this practice wasn't maintained at an STR. 

I took my time to aquire quality properties that rent easily and are well maintained.

This particular building is in decent shape and has been maintained well enough, though it's had very little capital improvements recently (potential for increased rents with some rehabbing, but not going into that here...)  

One tip: I always look at the view of the front yard and back yard online just to give me an idea of how they maintain the property.

My 3rd party managers have all used AppFolio and I have to maintain the books in QB or Xero (I use Xero).

I don't think it is a good idea to promote the idea that your property is somehow substandard or improperly maintained if this is the case.
