Hi Brian - sorry for being late to the game on your post here, I'm an investor myself and also a real estate agent licensed in NC.

I quit investing 26 years ago due to some setbacks and it took me another 21 years to get back in the game.

Personally, I'd be nervous to not get some type of deposit from my guest because I like for them to have "skin in the game" 

I think I have the basics down:* rent roll or proof of rental payments over x period of time* copies of owner paid expenses* copies of owner repairs over the last couple of years* clean title search* home inspectionWhat are some of your favorite questions?

Whats up everybody,Sure that this question gets asked a lot but what are your favorite software's for CRM, lead generation, and text campaigns. 

I am new to real estate and I would love to hear your favorite strategies for finding distressed properties. 

For those of you who’ve been in the short-term rental game for a while, what’s one lesson you wish you’d learned sooner?

Real estate is a numbers game, and patience is key.

The other options you are playing with fire as using a HELOC that is paying interest is essentially buying with 100% financing.Having no skin in the game has always been a high risk strategy and people were able to get away with it the past few years due to the money supply and inflation but I would not use that as the measuring stick.

When you log in to your own account you can continue watching shows where you left off, see your favorites, etc.I use Roku TVs and set them up in guest mode so that the Wi-Fi is already connected and all they have to do is log in to the apps.
