I always preferred the web/desktop version anyhow, but the app was convenient for conversations!

As far as ethically that is part of my nature and I don't care for the aggressive (potentially predatory) strategies discussed by others, but I see value in offering a transparent and convenient service with lower costs and faster turnarounds than traditional MLS transactions. 

I’ve experienced success in the STR market here in St Pete myself but I’ve since transitioned my properties to long term rentals for convenience and time management sake.

just cold call expired , its hard work makes you feel annoying as hell and its more like gambling with your time but its straight to the money. and all the best agents are listing agents anyways . focus on taking listings

Now to provide extra comfort and convenience to our buyers (who are mostly out of state) we agree to help them out by getting them set up with local property management that we work with closely as well as assisting management market the property for rent to place tenants.

It is very much case-by-case and requires understanding of the current tax regime for personal itemized deductions, as well as gambling on the proposed changes to this regime by the next administration.

This is my gamble.

I understand being in high cost market and it being difficult to buy but the "cash flow on paper" inexpensive markets is a gamble.

And: "The HELOC is just a tool that makes it convenient to keep all your extra money going toward the mortgage"!

These are very risk gambles that should only be attempted with money you don't really care about.
