Welcome @Stephen Burtin - stay involved and stay active.

They is to follow up and stay on them because more money is lost in the lack of the follow up. 

If they can't insure the property stay away! 

People do not typically stay in homes without central air conditioning for more than a year or two.

In the Kansas City Metro, we stay to 90-200k ARV properties, unless they are multi-family, which we do as well.

I am of course starting at the seller's numbers but never really stay on those for too long... too much optimism baked in... but alas, such is the game we play.For POH's, what sort of expense ratio should be a reasonable estimate for modeling out realistic assumptions? 

Stacy , if you want to make money with Airbnb the unit will need to have people provide 5* reviews .When your doing the garage rehab make sure you are designing a theme or design that will entice people to want to come back and of course leave great reviews With a garage you likely will need to go a little extra step in making it pop and keep the Benjamins rolling inId be happy to give you some guidance on themes or layouts for a free night stay :) Send me a PM Best of luck 

Barring a massive plague or nuclear war SFHs should stay in demand. 

Spokane is like every city there are areas that I would recommend staying away from and others that are blossoming.
