I hopped on the roof with the garden hose to defend the property (even though initially it was contained) when suddenly an ember spread to a palm tree (that had been neglected to be trimmed for years) that instantaneously atomized/vaporized into hundreds of embers and spotted fires on several homes.

Some of the most expensive and difficult properties in the country (and world) to develop were vaporized into potentially un-developable lots.

Stability: Homeowners tend to stay in their homes longer than renters, which can create a more stable environment for families and children.

>How well do log cabins in the area tend to perform in terms of bookings?

In addition, condos tend to not appreciate as fast in value compared to single-family or multi-family homes. 

I enjoy tenants turnover ever few years for the reason fair market rents tend to increase significantly year over year. 

I own 12-doors in Detroit and 3 of those are rented to section 8 tenants.The best areas for S8 tend to be C Class neighborhoods.

Booking.com tends to be more hands on since you have to setup up a payment processor and take payments from guests.

A general range tends to be 85% to 100% covered.

Another example of this is Newark, extremely strict laws making land lording a second job.When finding the right area to invest, towns with more lenient land lording laws and proximity to public transportation tend to be a receipt for success.
