An honest wholesaler who tells the seller what they are doing, I have no issue with that at all, and would even entertain doing it myself if the right scenario came around.

UNLV Campus Shooting: A 67-year-old academic, linked to schools in Georgia and North Carolina, opened fire on the UNLV campus during an outdoor gathering.

I would focus on making the backyard amazing so that whoever the next buyer is can have a nice outdoor space (maybe a pool, florida room and/or garden) to enjoy.

It has everything to do with entertainment and zero to do with the reality of actual REI profits.  

When looking at an str what's the WORST occupancy rates you calculate/entertain?

I can think of 10 cities/towns better suited for STR's with lots of outdoor activities. 

It's looking like we are going to have to purchase an outdoor storage for the home.

Outdoor furniture lasted one year, even expensive aluminum and rattan.

If you're targeting family reunions, how about a pavilion area with an outdoor kitchen?

However, in areas where people may be more used to a multi-family type living situation and are fine with street parking, I don't think you'll see much if any reduction in rent.Personally I set up a separate entrance to the property down a side of the main house and made it clear that the properties had dedicated outdoor yard space.
