Quote from @Andrea Lucarelli: I’m interested in beginning my REI career with purchasing a SFH or condo in Cleveland area (safe neighborhood) to list as a furnished rental for travel medical professionals, supply corporate housing needs, or house temporarily displaced families for insurance companies.  

Quote from @Edwin Soto: Quote from @Kathryn Morea: Hi Ryan,I moved to Puerto Rico in 2020 and I am invested heavily in the market. 

@Jason Brown - I'm a CT based investor, flipper, and property management company owner.  

Hi Geoff,In my opinion, keeping your current home as a rental property could be a smart move.

@Kristin MathernI would pay it given no keys were provided, it wasn’t specifically addressed/mentioned in your lease, you were provided the opportunity to address/fix yourself with a 25-30 dollar replacement from Lowe’s/Home Depot, and lastly, it was an existing situation that could have been avoided/prevented at move in.

That’s a great move—starting early with analyzing deals will put you in a strong position when you're ready to buy.Since you're open to other markets in the Southeast, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at Chattanooga.

To set the stage, I'm owner of a short-term rental property in the Poconos in PA and we use a property management company for bookings, maintenance/cleaning, guest management, etc.This past weekend we had a guest booking but when the guests arrived Friday evening the house had no running water, though it had been running fine earlier in the day when the Property manager (PM) was at the house to give a final check and leave the welcome packet.

On the REIT side - When these investments go underwater, often the sponsor company will freeze or drastically reduce redemptions.

These specialized companies, easily found online or here, will create your company’s SD 401(k) plan.

What do you need help with to move you toward your goal?
