We have taken a few real estate classes and read countless books to grow our financial knowledge.

BP has many articles, podcasts and books so make sure to look into those as well. 

I was not finding viable local fix-n-flip candidates in my area and I had read a book from BiggerPockets on out of state property fix-n-flips. 

I'm not a fan of buying a short term liability (no cash flowing property) in hopes of long term gain through appreciation. 

Honestly, most people don’t expect it anymore unless you're catering to older guests or sports fans.

I have a 1/1 and a 2/1 and although I'm seeing lots of different types of travelers, the ones who have been booking my place have all been traveling medical professionals.

If LL uses accrual method, they can book revenue without receiving.  

I am also a Zelle fan as well.

Instead, I've heard of hosts raising the nightly rate high enough it won't book or setting a 30-day minimum stay and had no issues with a double booking.

But in the end/exit , the deal tends to be more important.Sanjay, this is a phrase I'm often repeating on podcasts, in my book, and here in the forums:A good sponsor can deliver the best possible outcome in the face of adversity, and a bad sponsor can screw up a perfectly good real estate deal.
