I have a small air BNB that takes under an hour to clean. 

Then complain they smell and need to be cleaned.  

A stable female single mom, 6 years of renting, never late, always clean, gets with a 'fun' guy, good job, accepts her kid.  

You have secret future seering powers to predict this about prices that they are going down in the future?

Some developing countries have great human resources with purchasing power to tap.

House hacking with your VA loan is such a powerful strategy.

House Hacking is one of the most powerful strategies for gaining property management experience, acquisition, etc.  

This doesn't mean all landlords are evil, even though that is the narrative that some like to advance.There was just a landlord on BP complaining about their tenant reporting power problems.

So I got one that was very in-budget, good in terms of cash flow, decent neighborhood, not too old, clean inspection, etc.

Talk about having a powerful "why."
