I understand thought about equity in properties but what have to keep in mind is how it views from financing side of the table.

Many people in this country love NOT to pay taxes --- who doesn't. 

It seems that a lot of people dump on Garfield Park but I've always loved the area.

It's incredible how much you can get done by simply:- Treating your VAs well, like people with feelings and families to provide for (because they are!)

You don't evict people unless they are not paying rent, you simply give them notice with the legal amount of time required (which varies by area) to move out-more time is fine. 

This could make your ADR less competitive, but if marketed correctly I'm betting that people might perceive more value, which keeps occupancy at least the same.I'm thinking of a model where you tell guests they have "add-ons included" like grocery delivery, prepared breakfast package, attraction tickets, inner tubes, etc.

I understand that doing bi-weekly simply means you are doing 13 mortgage payments a year as opposed to 12.

It’s to prevent scammers from stealing elderly people’s homes.  

$50k / $1300 = 38 months to pay off your loan ... and you get to keep the asset.So many people are financially short-sighted and want immediate gratification, which is why so many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck.
