We looked at the property and decided against it. 1) There was evidence of extensive rot behind the wood siding2) The pool equipment was clearly not functional (pieces missing) 3) Interior reeked of pot4) Floating laminate floor was face nailed and screwed down with deck nails (assuming it was installed under the influence) 5) High power lines bordered the back property line6) A three building, 4 unit complex came on the market at less than twice the price of this house.

The vacation rental market has been boosted during the pandemic because people opt not to travel traditionally (cruises, Mexico, Hawaii, etc) so the west coast discovered Southen Utah.

You can always try to negotiate of course and your relator should do so if you request it but what is behind an AS is clause may be influenced by the market. 

I've also already read 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' & 'How to Win Friends & Influence People'.

With Airbnb and VRBO boosting your property for the first few weeks to "test" it, listing right before Spring Break is a GREAT chance to get your property boosted to the top of searches right away!

It's essential to know these standards for your area as they will influence your rent pricing.3.

I considered using my outlandishly deep knowledge of the Cleveland market to add a subjective overlay in cases where the data seemed skewed by something like a subsidized senior citizen high-rise (dragging down incomes, homeowner rates, etc. and therefore causing an undue hit to the area's grade... think the apartment buildings on Clifton in Edgewater for example) or a semi-fancy newer development surrounded mostly by rather dumpy older stuff (pulling up incomes, homeowner rates, etc. and therefore causing an undue boost to the area's grade... think Mill Creek off of Turney for example) but I decided against it mainly because I didn't want to allow subjectivity into it at all and then get accused of encouraging discriminatory practices or any bs like that.But... at the end of the day James you do have that first mover advantage (and I commend you for making the map in the first place even though I disagree with some of your assessment), so you'll likely continue to get the majority of the traffic, at least for the foreseeable future.

I won't even look at it anymore, lest I might be influenced by what it says.  

All real estate is local, but often local customs become outdated due to other influences, such as financing laws, tax code, accounting requirements and your local circuit court judges and local attorneys may not be aware of such changes, that's often the case. 

Hi Noel,I have just bought my "four plex" also (duplex with non conforming basement suites) for 600k, it was also recently renovated where the previous owner put 70k into it, since I got it I was able to boost the rent up substantially for the vacant main floor when I purchased it, (main floors to be 1550 was easy to rent out and alot of interest, basements could be 950 but I will have to wait until their leases end to propose this) garage is 200.
