My personal soapbox statement - Airbnb is an abusive spouse that slowly people are waking up to realize they are in a controling abusive relationship and they start to develop an escape plan (more platforms/direct website) so they are no longer relying on Airbnb.

OK got it.. no different than going to a Tony Robbins event you have all the likely suspects selling their version of how to get rich and or take control of your personal affairs.

The MTR was to get around the SFH becoming a 2 unit and under rent control with an LTR.

Hey @Ruth Reyes, I agree with both @John Underwood AND @James Carlson.I never really look hard at condo's due to the HOA fees and the fact that a controlling member can rule the roost.For example we almost bought a ski condo at the Inn of the 7th Mountain in Bend Oregon.

@Suzanne Player If you want a counterpoint, I navigated a major claim not long ago without a public adjuster.

You can have control and build a business, and learn hands on.

Taxes, insurance, pest control, utilities, software, etc comes out to around $13k per year each for my 2 bedroom cabins.Also unplanned capital expenses will add up.  

In order to get out of Freddie Mac's "Limited Multifamily Experience Sponsor" category, you must have ultimate ownership & control of either (i) 3 multifamily properties [1 of which you've owned for at least 2 years], or (ii) 1 multifamily property which you've owned for at least 5 years. 

What you call guaranteed income is what I call a lot of stress and governmental requirements to get the same or less rent than if you did a good job finding a property and put it up for rent on the open market.Section 8 rentals are for investors who want to keep replicating that strategy in the same area so they know all the regulations and all the players.

They also have no real control of anything.
