We were happy because we bought around 40 houses with only about 5% down out of our pocket in the end.They didn't cashflow very well for a few years because we had to get higher leverage to get all of their money back but rents are going up and they're doing better now plus we have a ton of equity that we can repurpose if we so choose.

If you think you can rent this out as a short term rental, then that is another story and I think you're 10k could be well spent to increase cash flow.

I've heard this one too many times as well, and I agree.Most regret selling but never regret buying and holding.

Is there any allowance for time and labor for the owner completing repairs, to bill to the security deposit as well?

I just received a cp2000 stating I owe as well from Robinhood trading.

Already talked to the Warren County office and they said it's a 3 month process to get STRs approved but in general the process seems to be pretty straight forward if you aren't in a HOA or in town.I have a property in the area that is a smaller 2bed/1bath that does really well and I feel very comfotable with the 3 bed numbers, but once we get to the higher range properties 3-4 bedrooms and properties that I would consider to be luxury stays for large groups, I am finding it hard to make the numbers reallyyyy make sense at a $300 ADR.

The best reward for a job well done is more work and referrals.

I have a nice B property south of Worcester that has worked real well for me.

First of all your parents have to be on the loan as well. 

I know we have several of these companies on the west coast and I'm sure you have some in CO as well.
