Just so you know, Vrbo and Airbnb will not allow you to receive an inquiry through their platforms, and then take the booking off-platform, they want their cut of the money. 

Off market deal from a previous listing a year prior.

Did you write off those special assessments in 2010 and 2012? 

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

So, with that being said, market cooled off for sure the last few months in our area.

If you ever want to get together for coffee and bounce ideas off of each other from one newbie to another, let me know!  

There’s a strong demand from investors who specifically seek Section 8 properties for their reliability, so it can make the listing more attractive to the right audience.That said, managing Section 8 properties isn’t completely hands-off.

@Matthew Posteraro I wouldn't necessarily say that it is a way to make them more hands-off by scaling up to larger properties.

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?
