The risk can be in the form of low appreciation potential, crime, lower quality tenants, etc.

I would rather buy a few quality properties at conservative numbers over 5 years then load up on a bunch of marginal crap that will weigh me down and break even from some doing good and some doing bad and spinning my investing wheels.

They conducted an air quality test to verify that the remediation was successful, and also confirmed that moisture level was appropriate in the wood framing.

This is a little late lol, do you know of any good/quality/reliable General Contractors (or any contractor) in the area?

I've read that you should avoid the $2 LVP and go with the higher end which I've seen is around 4.79 which can get expensive like wood.If you have to go with vinyl, definitely use the highest quality you can find.

My father would say 'ignore the news, it isn't the future, buy-n-hold quality until you need otherwise'.  

What one person thinks is remodeled and nice is a 3 star stay for others.Sometimes it is a big thing like a dirty house etc or sometimes it is a bunch of smaller things like 3 forks, no bowls, poor quality linens, that sort of thing.My charity booked a large STR for a 2 day board retreat a few years ago.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?
