I would also caution if you are intending on a vacation rental be very cautious of the individual town restrictions.

I for one would dislike being pushed into a box, I'd prefer to choose my own stuff...and it really ain't that hard.Interesting concept though, I just do not see the value for a veteran Contractor or Imvestor.I'd ask for references before using them...

I’m so happy to be here and would love to connect with like minded individuals 😁Welcome!

Those rentals debt serviced and also covered my California monthly rent (I know some of you may question paying someone else's mortgage) but at that time, I preferred the renting lifestyle which placed me much closer to work, my family, my clients, and friends.

These were plats of subdivisions that were platted and recorded in the early 1900's but never developed and generally owned by one individual or company.

I am hoping that by joining Bigger Pockets, I will meet many like minded individuals seeking financial freedom, for rental cashflow.  

They often have a list of preferred housing providers they work with.

In that case I write off the lost rent as cost of doing business, but I prefer that to the expense and hassle of an eviction, which typically ends up costing us more and takes longer, even though Milwaukee is still pretty landlord-friendly.I have also done cash for keys, but typically very conditional. 

We’d love to connect with like-minded individuals and seasoned investors to learn from their experiences.5.

Never to the lender or individual.
