Lease violations going unnoticed Unauthorized occupants, pets, subletting, property damage developing over time.Vacancy costs mounting Every day vacant while you coordinate showings remotely costs money; can't do quick turnarounds.No local advocate during disputes Code violations, neighbor complaints, tenant disputes, neighbor complaints, city inspections, you're fighting battles by phone.These problems don't exist in isolation.

I work and sell short term rental properties every day.

Lawmakers never imagined a future where everyday investors could run a vacation rental empire from their phones through platforms like Airbnb and VRBO.

If I kept the single family home it would always cost me 25% down payment if I was unwilling to owner occupy, If I called 100 new people everyday looking for the seller financed deal it would cost me my time.

YOU know you see them everyday.. they are wholesaler bait as well..

To be blunt, I think a full extraction of value in a low cost Midwest market is nearly a unicorn at this time.When I do a rehab, I am at the property virtually every day.  

They say every day they don't like you and then some. 

As stated, I work a 9-5 tech job, thus I am not on the forum every day.

It's a matter of doing it every day. 

And watch out our windows everyday the drug induced zombies happily stumbling all over, digging in our dumpster and sleeping under our overhang.
