It saddens me to see millions of people strapped to their jobs, trying to protect their holy grail 401K, until they are 60, and then start taking their "distributions", having a couple of decades left to live.

It sounds like a few people on this thread don't really understand how PMC's operate or why they may charge extra fees.

The reality is that this isn't people crashing on the couch while we're out of town anymore. 

The biggest issue with Stessa is that it sounded like they had very low transfer maximums(making it difficult to pay people) but it looks like they've improved a little bit on that.

Too many people, especially lately, are looking at section 8 as a bulletproof or superior strategy. 

interest rates and prices are high and people are contorting themselves into pretzels to try to buy. 

People don't read STR descriptions you see this alot with international properties where people expect US standards.

I would also join a bunch of Investor groups via facebook and try to connect with as many people as you can. 

Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.

I figured this would be the perfect place to connect with like-minded people, get advice, and explore more resources to guide our decisions.
