its fin if thats ok to you, but to me its not. not sure if it dirty, or heavy wear, but if its dirty, they attracts pests, and can cause problems with other tenants and neighbors. you need to ask yourself what kind of landlord do i want to be. just my $0.02 

@Slawek Jakubowski Temple students far prefer the west side of Broad st- but at the right price point you can still attract them around 9th and Diamond.

Sometimes it's ambiguous, but even then, why should I bother with the company that has numerous unresolved lawsuits, versus another company that is virtually the same but has none.

You can get a lot of bang for your buck there but there is a lot more competition the key there is to theme it really cool to attract the most bookings.

One thing thats attractive about owning a property in California is that we are not obligated to pay maintenance to a coop which eats from the cashflow, however, that said we realize there will be maintenance expenses associated with owning any property.]7.When considering your ROI in selling your co-op, also keep in mind that in NYC, you, as seller, will likely have to pay NYC and NYS transfer tax (buyer would likely pay "Mansion Tax" if the sale price is $1M, but everything is negotiable).

The allure of having access to their lending pool of investors was very attractive...but again, my mind doesn't make purchases on the spot.

@Becky FischerIt's encouraging to hear that it is possible to attract vacation renters during the offseason. 

I assume you're looking at those because the rent/price ratio or other metrics are attractive, and there's a reason for that.  

The property should attract tenants easily enough, just worried about the class of tenant for the area.  

If you have an attractive property in your backyard (Dallas) it shouldn't be an issue.
