For the heat, I like to have a thermostat kind of hidden and locked at set temp such as 68 degrees, and have baseboard electric heaters in the units that way the tenants can "boost" the heat all they want on their own dime.

Curious how you think about future appreciation in STR dominant markets ... where homes are essentially being valued as income producing hospitality assets rather than homes ...i'm new to this - so please let me know if i'm thinking about this the right way - but it seems like in an STR dominant market appreciation would be driven by 3 things:1) increased demand from Airbnb consumers (essentially boosts NOI through higher occupancy/ ADRs, and therefore boosts market value of homes if you hold cap rates constant)2) increased demand from Airbnb investors willing to pay more for the same earnings (i.e., lower cap rates)3) inflationAm I thinking about this the right way?

for small multi and SFH - you add value and boost ARV. 

I'm not sure if rehab "has to" be completed before you apply for DF, but it's usually in your best interest because it will boost the appraised value which is obviously desirable (see #3).

Yes, in a heart beat.

It might ding your credit score a little in the short run, but adding more and more open credit in the long run I believe boosts your score (e.g. larger lines, lower utilization rate) and provides yet another safety cushion.

Memories and experiences weigh heavy on the heart and mind and the thought of just moving on from them is not an easy one.

I can vote on various issues or people that I believe may have my best interest at heart but that's about all I can do.
