Hi Zach, if I were you I would sit down an do true apple to apple comparison of what it cost to invest out of state vs what it is cost to house hack locally

He buys small barns and converts them into 2-3 bed cabins.

For example, My residential leases used to be 17 pages (+/- one new page for each year as a landlord) some of the commercial leases I've seen are 75+ pages....they are both leases but it's apples and oranges...

In the construction industry we call it "bid leveling" and this is exactly how you compare numbers between contractors accurately and apples to apples. 

Just so we can at least try to compare apples to apples here, the median home sales price in Pittsburgh (where I live and operate) is $242,000.

There are more comps about 10 miles away, but that’s a very different market and demographic, so it’s not really apples to apples.This is actually my first investment property, so I’m weighing my options carefully.

In the back yard shaded area near that back door is another area perfect for a chair, a table, a small outdoor rug and a glass of wine next to an apple or some grapes on the table.

I don't have an Apple so I can't speak to that but I will pass off to @Ashlee Perry to see if you can get some help. 

Tough to weigh these all apples-to-apples since they have different business models.

So I ended up adding it back in as a separate fee.Also, I'm not yet sure if this would be a positive or a negative, but as most of my competitors have a separate cleaning fee, rolling it into the rate (and having zero as a cleaning fee, for example), creates chaos with the competitive data sets I'm looking at (and yes, I could write a simple formula to compensate for that in Excel, etc.) but we already know it's not true apples-to-apples.I think this problem is solved with AirBnB's recent update.
