we see CA investors who do exactly that without knowledge of the local area or the right team in place, or even with the right team but without proper expectations for how much money they're going to spend, and it seems to set them backward.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1242392-rough...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/432/topics/1231840-sell...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/840134-memph...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...to buy a property that costs $250K+ is going to take 60K+ and that's a lot of capital to shell out.if you're serious about investing in Columbus I'd go there in person and really get to know a couple areas first.hope this helps. 

After taking out all estimated settlement costs, carrying costs, profit expectations, rehab costs w/contingency the number at the end is what I can pay for the "shell". 

Its just a shell game and part of the all in pricing logic. 

There are a couple new services like airbnb coming on line targeted soley at 30 plus day rentals ministays and something else I can't recall but not much more than a blip at the moment.You're correct that the way fees are distributed between host and guest is changing, but not the overall cost of the rental for the guest, so it's really just a shell game. 

You could produce an exact clone of an IC site by hand-writing the HTML in Notepad if you wanted (very bad idea).What matters for SEO is a long list of factors that the web crawlers use to rank your page - what kind of words are used in headings (that is, what does the page appear to be "about"), what types of phrases and words does the body copy of the site use, how similar is that content to other sites, how many incoming links does the page have from other "high authority" sites, how much traffic are you already getting, how quickly does the page load, how recently was the content updated, how effectively does the site render on a mobile device, etc. etc.Nobody knows the exact formula for how search engines use those factors, and they change all the time.

Orbi was more costly than the Google mesh, but I believe it supports higher top speedThe Google mesh was in a quad and covered about 5000’ of living space across 4 units with only 2 units attached,The ORBI is in my personal home and the only issue I have had is attaching archaic devices that desire 2.4 GHz,   We pay extra for real fast internet from the provider but even so the provider is the limiter.  

Now there are devices that can measure noise volume but if it is both units not sure how you decide which one is making the noise. 

Anywhere from shells/full gut flips to turnkey rentals. 

Those check a lot of “powered shell” boxes if you can validate a few things up front:Power: Confirm 3-phase 480V, available capacity, and utility upgrade timelines/costs.

That's it in a nut-shell, you give it a goal to achieve and it just does everything else itself.
