I lived in LA for a decade and we have many friends, family, clients and community members suffering and send our sincerest condolences to all of those experiencing and affected this tragedy. 

We paid off our primary home last year and have been slowly getting the courage to jump into the investing market where we live in the Pacific Northwest.

We plan to come back live in it the other 6 months, fix it up more, repeat that process until we can find another deal that makes sense for us. 

I am currently living out of state so I have hired a property management company to handle this task, however, my home is still sitting vacant with very few prospective tenants.

I live in the greater Maryland  area.

I am new in BP, and I am looking to understand where I start with learning about REI.I currently live in New York which it's not a good place to start investing.i know the difference between STR,MTR,LTR....

Both of those websites charge the tenants more than $25 and we require all adults living in our units to pay and fill out an application. 

I am an out of state Investor and I know a lot of you live and invest in St.

Theres someone living in the side that I will be occupying until the 1st of February, but since I JUST became the owner, would it make sense to reach out and ask them something like "Hey its __ the new owner, just checking in to see how you're doing.

Quote from @Andrew Lawlor: I've been actively investing in short-term rental properties for the past three years, managing one live property and another that will go live in two months.
