Does it solve anything that does not already exist or maybe it attracts currency investors because it is backed by real estate?

I am asking because I view it as a benefit to the tenant and therefore a way to attract high-quality tenants. 

Hi @Joseph EmsWelcome to BPMost of my best real estate finds have been at networking events I attend or hold.The relationships are built there to bird dogs and they seem to be attracting more precise deals I like to buy.RegardsJoe Scorese

But the attraction to sure deposit is you (hopefully) get the money from the bond and can quickly restore the unit to pre-damages condition and get it rented and not have to worry about pursing collection, going to court, but if what I’ve read and have been told about sure deposit is true, if Assurant (I believe) can’t pay the bond, what good is having it?

IMO, if you are performing well and the others are passive and happy in that role, lining out what those options are, financial impacts to still ensure an attractive return for them should go a long way to avoid friction later and may be a catalyst to get you thinking bigger w/syndication down the road when you want to bring in more investors and capital.  

If rates rise, the value of properties will decrease so that cash-on-cash returns remain attractive.

I'm currently looking at a duplex in an area that has a low vacancy rate and is known for attracting higher quality tenants.

Nice claw foot tub, but not appropriate for a shower, you will have all kinds of problems with that, replace it with todays tub. siding - power wash and paint. kitchen, paint cabinets, replace counter top, sink looks fine. cistern, get rid of, you do not need the liability and if it still gets water , think of the mosquito it will attract if the water just sits there.

Because of the international attraction, tourism and university city, Amsterdam stands far out in the whole country, especially when it comes to the housing market.http://www.globalpropertyguide.com/Europe/Netherla...I may be of service.

what is it in the area that the owner think attracts the airbnb'ers?
