@Edwin RamirezAs a host myself, I would strongly advise against getting an Airbnb if the city does not allow them.

Each city/state is different. 

I’m using my second tier to buy a fourplex in Kansas City.

I know this is a difficult part of the city and I wanted to get some insight from other peoples' experiences.

I played around with some of the ways of looking at value in the Introduction to Real Estate Analysis article by J Scott, but whenever I think of an offer I get worried I am either insulting him or giving away all my hard work (3 years of time assembling lots and getting it through city approvals, and serving as an uncompensated GC for net zero energy certification and most of the site work).

.), one large reason was for the “underratedness” we see in the city and the opportunity for entering into REI.

But I also get some from major cities across the country, Florida, Texas, Vegas.

I'm an investor in the city. 

I’ve visited the city and done alot of research and bought two houses both rented with great ROI’s, even with property managers in place.
