It was so fun!

I think with lower cost properties it would be fun to snowball cashflow into more free and clear properties.

As long as you are willing to learn, I am sure you will RE easier tech... and I bet more fun too!

Real estate investing is great and a lot of fun.

But don't take yourself too seriously, make it a game you play for fun and profit.it is your job as an investor to get to their base-line price - you can only do that by asking questions and getting to the right answers.Questions: how long on the market and how - agents or FSBO?

Insurance claims are never fun and with being in an HOA certainly makes it a bit more complicated.  

By consistently adding value and actually bring some fresh/new ideas to BP STR forum. :) Seriously though the more you show up and add value, people realize you can help them out. 

As tenants have left we've been fixing up the apartments so that everything is working and is freshly painted and clean again.

If you feel more comfortable having a lawyer review it, that is still a stronger starting point to save money since they are not starting fresh. 

Fun and exciting stuff.Hope all is going well...Rog
