I grew up in RI and my dad is a carpenter in the area (was as my parents recently moved to FL) but that got me into that market with some local presence as I stayed in the Boston area. (4) properties and 14 units later, I still find myself investing in RI as the price point is about half of Boston but the cash flow is similar.

First time in 3 years we have had to file a claim with over 150 airbnb stays.

Go check and see what others are charging.I guess I have to ask what does it offer that would make people want to stay there?

As a young investor, stay organized, keep learning, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Personally I would stay away from this.  

If you are willing to do some work, you can force appreciation, capture some equity, which boosts rent-to-value.In terms of areas to avoid, I would stay away from the East side, particularly anything along Post road between Pendleton Pike and I-74. 

@Nick WimmelYou can get decent cash flow and demand for rentals is likely to stay strong in the area given the proximity to major job centers in Cincinnati and Dayton

How do I help them stay in the house, while getting the deed in my name?

All lenders have strengths and weaknesses, staying close to them is the only way to learn what each of those are.

subliminally" good word by the way.May I state for the record, I only work with with guys who are accredited or close to accredited, have substantial reserves, who have a steady income outside of real estate and who want to stay out of trouble.
