I have been looking into a couple markets in Kentucky. I have family in Paducah and love Louisville, would love to chat about your experience with STR.

If I could go back to my time in before kids, I'd use the VA for a 2-4 unit. Then rent to fellow service members. Renting to service members gives you an added protection of your property, because you have the benefit of Article 15 and CM. Not saying I look forward to that, but them knowing it's a possibility helps to hold them accountable with keep the place in good condition and rent paid on time. This will allow it to still be a primary residence for you if you live in one unit.

Hey Joe, what type of properties you looking to sell? SFR, Townhouse/condo? What type of properties are you looking at investing in? I know I have a couple

ideas that are a short plane ride away.

Leave, drop out, but you better be willing to hustle and not give up and do everything possible to succeed. Just be saying this because you got all Hyped up on Gary Vee and want to drop out because of what he preaches. Truly listen to his words if you do follow him. One of my best friends in high school was going nowhere in high school, but he was the working and hustling type. When he told me our sophomore year that he was dropping out I knew it was for the best. He was truly wasting his time, he was failing every class and, told me I’m not cut out for this I’m going to go work because I understand that. This became a top restaurant manager, then went to work on windmills and becoming one of the only qualified people in his industry holding certain certifications, he did this for about 10 years and for the last two years he worked there built a fabrication business on the side and grew that into his main hustle. Sleepless nights, rehab for alcoholism and a divorce later he has grown into a decent size fabrication company working on mansions in Beverly Hills and still working his *** off. If you’re an honor student you have the ability to finish school, Gary Vee would say be patient. There are other things you can do that will help you get closer to your goal. The fact you’re in this forum is evidence your smart use intelligence and think hard about your decision. One thing my friend had was a plan, he never moved on to the next step until he had a plan... doesn’t need to be a foolproof plan just one that you can execute. Good luck to you.

Just looking for others opinion on the matter. Thanks you all for your posts!

I expected commentary on the thought of the actual situation which I discussed not the contents of the email.

From an email my wife received, she works in HR for Marriott

Today marks the exciting launch of Homes & Villas by Marriott International, the company’s global expansion into home rentals. We now offer our guests access to more than 2,000 premium and luxury homes and villas in over 100 destinations across the United States, Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America, with each property offering the space and amenities of a home, backed by the trusted Marriott International brand.

As one of our C.O.R.E priorities, Expansion is at the heart of what our Homes & Villas by Marriott International announcement is all about. This offering enables us to meet the diverse needs of our customers, while keeping pace with the changing competitive landscape. What started out as a pilot of 200 homes in London, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Rome in April 2018 with Tribute Portfolio Homes is now a global offering providing guests with what no other competitor does today – commitment to quality, consistency, service, standards and compliance.

With Homes & Villas by Marriott International, guests won’t need to scroll through hundreds of properties to find the one that is truly exceptional; they know they’ll receive a high-quality and consistent home rental experience with luxury and premium properties that have been hand selected, each meeting rigorous design as well as safety and security standards. This collection of properties includes private beach villas, countryside cabins, and stone castles as well as urban residences and lofts.

Just like in our hotels, we will strive to make our guests’ stays as stress-free as possible, offering 24-hour check-in, high-speed Wi-Fi, and premium amenities, helping set the stage for our guests to create special, lasting memories with family and friends.

Most importantly, our more than 125 million Marriott Bonvoy members have the ability to earn and redeem points for their stay. Marriott Bonvoy is the world’s premier travel loyalty program and through Homes & Villas by Marriott International, we will continue to offer even more exciting and amazing benefits to attract and retain our growing membership for all their travel needs.

Today’s announcement is just the beginning of what’s to come.

It takes a tremendous amount of work to launch an initiative like this. Please join us in congratulating our newly named Vice President, Homes & Villas by Marriott International, Jennifer Hsieh and her dedicated team on reaching this moment. They are bringing another form of good travel to our guests and we couldn’t be more excited.

Well looks Marriott is getting into The Vacation Home rental business... what do you investors think about this?

So something that has been resignating with me is Jay Scott's last interview. He mentioned his house is paid off but has taken a LOC out on it in preps for a financial downturn. Now he obviously is a master in his craft and I am struggling to start, but what we have in common is a paid off home. Mine is worth about 280-290 based off recent sold comps and those are model matches. My objective is how would some of you out there take this scenario and build wealth. Would you go the STR route? flip flip whole sale, BRRRR and would you wait the market out or start now?
