My partner and I purchased a 3 bdrm townhome in Boulder Jan 2020 for 429K (yes it was the cheapest 3bdrm - aside from a mobile home - in Boulder at the time), we petsit through a killer app, staying in gorgeous homes for free and rent out our home on Airbnb. 

Plus, his suggestions are spot on, knows the business well, and does not try to nickle and dime me compared to larger PMs.Third, if I was in the States, I would self-manage but I don't have that luxury because I live abroad. 

You could lease them for like a 100/mo and got a lot of your down payment or all back from various rebates for electric cars.then you could park it turo spot at airport and well...doesn't take much to make back 100mo haha.

@Michael EalyWhen you start with huge disadvantages, and I think your analysis is very spot-on there about it for Millennials, there's more of a tendency to become institutionalized in tenant mentality, the mindset of people who pay rent and expect a certain amount of free maintenance versus people who pay a mortgage and understand maintenance is all on them.It's all well and good to imagine yourself taking on the many do-it-yourself maintenance challenges of home ownership at 25, 30, 35.

You can't keep his listing or his bookings from system perspective so all you are doing is putting guests in a potentially bad spot or transfer experience to which you might end up on the receiving end of the poor review once they complete their stay. 

Or is it just the 9 spots?

Now I will say we are in a single season spot.

I only spot checked with a couple since this isn't "my" deal, maybe someone digging a little deeper would find something that works.I don't do a huge amount of 15YF (bay area mortgage amounts, good luck qualifying :P ). 

Peel and stick white/gray grout-able tile for baths, kitchen and laundry.7-8mm chestnut wood laminate if subfloor has uneven spots. 

There was no line to pkacectge mortgage so I put in the PMI spot
