I will summarise my learnings to date and share a little about the process/rules I have developed here to hopefully be successful in REI in the Portuguese market.

I have had PMs successfully get large reimbursement including this PM got one last year (but I do not remember which OTA).It is my belief that AirBnb rejects some smaller claims hoping that it is not worth pursuing.  

Best Success!

@Joel Florek - Congrats on all the success! 

There's a few different ways to focus on a lower rate such as with house hacking and making the investment your primary residence, requesting a significant closing credit from the sellers for standard rate buy-downs (which I've had great success with recently), or utilizing lenders who offer short term rate lowering solutions such as 2-1 rate buy downs (again, ideally paid for by the sellers).

You'll need to really look at yourself and understand what you do well and enjoy, at the end of the day if you enjoy what you do you'll have more drive be successful everyday. 

Showcase testimonials, success stories, or industry certifications on your landing pages and follow-up emails.

Their expertise can often pay for itself in the form of reduced taxes and increased savings.Takeaway: Look for professionals with experience in your specific market for tailored advice.By implementing these strategies, you’ll not only reduce your tax burden but also set yourself up for long-term success as a real estate investor!

That’s thanks to a combination of rent increases, successfully appealing property taxes (highly recommend if you understand the process), and just giving the portfolio time to stabilize.One thing I’ll say is that a lot of people underestimate how much capital it takes to scale quickly.

I have clients who have purchased multi family in Las Vegas and had great success over the years.
