I am aiming for fixed fees not fixed %s, so I told them if you save me money on a house that you found and we close-- you'll get paid.

In regards to the problem of specifically finding a deal, I developed a platform with the aim of easing the property-finding process for single family properties on the MLS.

They focus on golfers and supplement it with the beach atmosphere. 

I've had a lot of success with my property manager's going after Mid Term Rentals to supplement Short Term Rentals.

Ultimately I'd like to at least do a house hack per year and supplement it with some other properties along the way

I aim to deploy funds as soon as I have them available.

Hey Randee, It really comes down to what you're aiming for.

I'm seeking advice on my current situation and the best route for achieving my real estate goals.For context, I'm 23 years old, living in Providence, RI, with the aim of owning 5 rental units and my own home in the next 10 years.

.- You need supplemental insurance to protect yourself.

There is obviously a formal lease, and we also supplement with a room mate agreement which outlines the more specific things like overnight guests and expectations in dispute resolutions/ cleaning/ care for the home and appliances, etc.I haven't received one formal "LL request" email yet, other than a formal 30 day notice in the event of a move out, which is usually after they've come talked to me in person about it to begin with. if there's an issue, it tends to be pretty limited to "hey, we have this shower rod falling off"... which im usually here to deal with (and tbh most of the time they like to fix it up with me), and it doesnt need to turn into a big thing. as for keys, i have the house on a yale smart lock, so 'handing over keys' is just official move out, walkthrough of the room for damages, and then I can delete their access code and access to the smart home systems without having to re-key the house.
