But it's tougher for STRs now, so anyone wanting their piece of the pie needs to bring their A game. 

I am considering breaking up my 1031 into a few pieces.

Hi all, buying my first STR and selling a piece of land I bought in 2021 for 4x to help reduce the note.  

Understanding land has been the most valuable piece of information that I have learned in Real Estate.

Yes, that is my biggest concern is the very poor cash flow - but with the area I'm in, I see appreciation being a large piece of the puzzle.

Forest,Access is the hardest/ most complicated piece.

Drew, Thanks for your response and definitely in the same boat on the property taxes piece...Great call out on making sure there is room to raise rents!

I wouldn't neccasarily consider the 1/4" "floating" bottom of the draw a "joint", that being said....What's the harm in glueing those pieces in?

The client may deem a $500 bill to replace 3 pieces of wood siding excessive but it's legitimate.

Furthermore, you will already have a cash-flowing property in your hands and you won't have to compete with the crowd of people jumping in to purchase real estate because rates dropped.Another piece of advice you will read from time to time on these forums, "Marry the property and date the rate!"
