hate to give this place up because it's a one of a kind property in a very desirable area and I'm thinking it could do well as a VRBO.In a nutshell, it's a 4 Bed, 3 Bath home on a little over 2 acres with:Indoor Pool and Spa with Retractable Roof.Separate but connected Diner / Malt Shop with Fridge, TV and Stereo.Huge Game Room off said Diner.The Game Room is actually a oversize 4 car garage, but it's fully finished, fully insulated, has it's own central heat and air and a full bathroom.Prior owner used this portion of the garages as a showroom for his car collection, we use it as a huge Gameroom.This gameroom has a 65" HD TV, Stereo system, Regulation Pool Table, Professional Quality Fooseball Table, Professional Quality Ping Pong Table and a low end Air Hockey table in it.House also has a 3 car attached garage and 4 more garage bays in addition to the 4 bay garage area we use as a gameroom.There is also a horse barn on the property, but we use that just for storage.Home is near major highways, major shopping, dining, entertainment etc. in the city of Lucas which is North of Dallas.I've seen VRBO homes in Allen that are in the mid to upper 100's per night that look like they are doing fine - I'm basing that on pulling up their calendar and seeing the days they have booked into the future.

I invest in solid blue collar areas, and I don't remember the last time something was stolen from one of my properties (perhaps an air conditioning compressor back in 2009).

It's a high estimate, but when people try to heat their house with their stove or air condition the house with the refrigerator, you can see how it's a safe number.If my numbers work, this is the outcome:$550/month = $6600/year$100/week = $15,600 (home with 3 rooms) - $3,600 = $12,000Over 80% increase in rents.It's more work, but once you have the right tenants and handymen in place it is much easier than it looks.
