Quote from @Steve Holt: Has anyone had a successful relationship with BongoStays for either furnishing your STR property or management of that property? 

You can watch closely to see if it is something you would like to do on future properties.

If your guests are leaving standard 5-star reviews, that’s great—but if those reviews could apply to any rental in your area, you’re still competing on price.If they’re leaving raving reviews, your property becomes the go-to choice—at premium rates.

I got the property off-market for $250k from a trusted family friend.

Quote from @Christina Venegas: Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: Quote from @Christina Venegas: is it possible to do HELOC on a primary home that was purchased 6 months ago with 5% of down payment, the property was $145k and it was appraised at that time for $160k. i need advice from investors and lenders, if anybody knows some lenders that could help me I would really appreciate it, thanks for taking your time to respondIt’s definitely possible to get a HELOC on a primary home, but most lenders have a seasoning periods which are typically 6-12 months after purchase before they’ll allow it.

For finding my first properties, word of mouth and local networking worked well, plus reaching out to hosts on Airbnb with personalized messages.When pitching, focus on how you’ll add value (like boosting reviews or optimizing pricing) and avoid coming off too salesy.

My partner and I found this deal through an agent that gave us a list of all the 4b2b properties in the area and we sent direct mail to every household.

We also own a rental property.

The loan would be secured by the property.

Thank you,Phil Don’t have any experience with the mentioned mentors, but I do have 45 years experience in commercial real estate investing.Flipping (wholesaling) commercial properties require the same base of knowledge (real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance) that is a foundational requirement for flipping residential properties; PLUS, extensive knowledge of the commercial property TYPE one is trying to engage with, and extensive knowledge of the local real estate market for the subject property type.
