Mine is a 2022 build  Hey Ryan, Your property checks alot of boxes for me for a MTR focused on attracting families as a whole home rental.Single story, Good school district, Little to no competition on Airbnb, No HOA.I bought a property once in 2015 and it barely cash flowed as a LTR but now 10 years later, I cash flow as a LTR about $600 per month. 

3) How flexible is the contractor about meeting at the property for their inspection to generate a bid? 

I had been discussing this property with the owner for a while and saw its potential—distressed but with strong fundamentals and built-in equity.The deal was a great opportunity to apply creative financing, secure a property with minimal upfront capital, and build long-term cash flow.

In addition to STR'ing the main house, he is building 2 more units (ADUs) on the back side of the property.

I have helped hundreds of investors execute 1031 exchanges and build diversified portfolios across various excellent markets, all while using just one property management service.

Say, I have a potential client that has asked me to value a 7 unit apartment building.

Additionally, we have a decent amount invested in retirement accounts, which we plan to continue building over time.As part of the move, we’ll be purchasing a larger home.

Also unfortunately, we haven't held anything yet to build a portfolio.

I come from Europe too, and I know it can be overwhelming when you look at the real estate market in a new country and with completely different building technics ( sticks instead of bricks), but is not as bad when you have the right team in place. 

Apparently, not only did they sell at a loss, I didn't get any money back at all and they claim I owe them an additional $40,000 for "renovations" despite no work being done to the building at all.
