And you'll still need all of the other skillsets required to know if a property is a good deal or not.Hope all of that makes sense.

STR's can generate a great return but require the most effort. $600k is a lot of money.

However, promoting a $35,000 West Side Home in a disposition effort has proven challenging as:-Access is restricted until final walk through before closing-A non refundable deposit is required (required by dispo company)-Only pics of the outside of the home-Home will be vacant at closingThe home looks decent from the outside & allocating for a full rehab on an 850 SqFt SFH, home est. retail value after reno around 150kLooking for thoughts of other investors & or realtors on this one as I thought this one would fly off the marketplace....  

AND, this deal would require me to deal with tenants of lesser means than DC as well as commercial tenants and I have no experience with those two aspects of landlording.
