So many, please message me for details Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Most of the easy "lipstick on a pig" transformations are gone - you're often looking at more serious rehabs to make the numbers work.That said, we do have some advantages: strong rental market (lots of students, young professionals), still relatively affordable deals, and good appreciation potential in many neighborhoods.

i have 4 STRs that i use professional PM, 2 of the STRs, after expenses including PM, are not outproducing my LTRs.For optimal ROI in this market requires a value add and quick, at least partial, exit.

Sharing your vision with real estate professionals, local investors, or even family and friends might uncover unexpected opportunities.

Most professionals will recommend a separate LLC for every $1 million in assets but I don't think that's necessary.

They do an extremely good job at communicating in a professional and respectful manner, but not so much anything else.

Even professionals “short cut” the process and invest without almost any research.  

It could be worth transitioning to a midterm rental if there's demand for that type of housing in your area, like traveling professionals or remote workers.

my RE income from my rentals is semi-passive of course... so less active than W2 but more active than dividends or social security.I just dont really see owning rentals as passive to me its active if your going to stay right on top of them and have them perform like you want them to ( this is specfic to owning C class low B class sFRs  Not those who might own 100 unit apartments with professional management those are passive as long as they are working good. .
