Do not deal with any of the individuals mentioned in this thread:https://www.biggerpockets.com/...I outline my experience and many others weighed in. 

What i would recommend is joining a REA or other real estate meet-up group where you can connect with other likeminded individuals consistently and share knowledge.

And a single or double play is awesome.

I don't think it's the end of the world @Jonathan Greene...if it still helps someone learn something new there is at least some positive.In my opinion, those trolls will get seen for who they really are in the long run, so it is just a short-term play...that I don't know is worth worrying much about.I'd rather someone say, "Here is a question we often get asked as a general contractor: how much does it cost to dig down a Chicago basement?  

@Tom HallAt 7% if you can I would pay it down as investing it net after tax gains may not get you the 7% you are paying - so it’s less riskDownside is you lose liquidity of that money as it’s tied in your propertyIf rates come down in future you can refinance and even take some of the cash out.Regarding your question are rates coming down, a lot of factors come into play but right now it does not appear there will be significant changes to rates over next 3-6 months.

They are great as appreciation plays but that's not what most investors are looking for.C/C+ is where you're going to cash flow...

This is me playing devils advocate of course.

Denver and its surrounds have particularly active markets and a lot of active individuals offering ancillary services so I'd suggest you research those available services you're looking at offering to help you get an idea for what is well covered, what is lacking and what your competitor's pricing looks like.

@Mindy Jensen Maybe it's all just individual preference?

If it is a working STR, that really plays no part in the sale of the property.
