Quote from @Logan Williams: As a former student at the U of A, big rival games, homecoming, and greek life family weekends are a huge influx of people looking for lodging, with only a few hotels in close proximity to the University, STR's that are attractive can be few and far between.

So I live in the co springs close to garden of the gods area. so is it better to rent out whole house for aibnb or rent per room?

Hi real estate friends,My wife and I recently bought our first home in Co springs area close to garden of the gods and other attractions in the area. to no surprise our interest rate is a whooping 7.1%, the main house has 4 - BD 2 B. our mortgage is $4009. the property we bought has an attached dwelling unit on the side of it, completely independent from the main unit we live in, we are currently renting it out for 2 years for a tenant for $1545, It has one bedroom one bath.My question is what are some ways to scale especially since in the current market (is kind of almost impossible)?

God forbid the ac dies 5 years or there goes 5 years of cashflow. 

I forgot how the book ends but one of the high points was his design of a chapel "for the worship of God and the service of Man".

God bless you all and have a Great day   

Well, those are my thoughts, and above all, I trust God to guide as I continue in this lifelong journey 

May God bless everyone specially those who help others.
