How can I effectively address the concern of losing Airbnb reviews when convincing a potential client to switch from Evolve to my local property management company?

We help our clients do exactly that — evaluate properties objectively, stick to their buy box, and make sure every deal fits their long-term goals.If you'd like to see how we structure our analysis or want to review a few sample deals, we’re happy to share insights.

If money were no object, do you have a specific property (whether it's for sale or not) and address that would be an ideal first investment for you?

Your best bet is to read information from public blogs that approach both options objectively.

I do have a little objection to your "I used OPM to pay down my mortgage...plain and simple" comment, inasmuch as you still owed those "other people" all the money that they fronted you, until your money paid them off, right?

My objective is to buy about an acre of land, that is already leveled, access is being done, and utilities are going to be 5 feet from the property; and then build 3-4 shell retail spots on my plot, owner occupy one of them with a business and lease out the others.I am meeting with a developer this weekend, but have some wrong numbers regarding the average cost of building a shell space. 

So, David L, if your objective is a successful exit (or even predictable returns as forecasted - which was my objective), my opinion is stay far away from Open Door Capital.   

Our primary objective as coaches is to help clients ask the right questions, develop the right criteria, and identify potential red flags.  

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

Based off the information you provided, it sounds like there's no issue from your end.In the future, you may want to include something in the lease agreement that outlines objects that may be stored on premise.
