Happy to chat more, although I'm more responsive and active on Instagram @james_hwangThe real estate investing world is small and the MTR operator world is even smaller.

I typically do most of the work myself or hire my handy man who does just about everything and for a great price.I definitely have more experience in the construction industry than in the mortgage one for now, but I would love to chat further if you're willing to share some of the knowledge you have :) (up to this point it has been only my mother and I investing and we have about 6 properties collectively.)Thank you for all of the input!!

You would probably need a unique property for that market, but I've seen some 1/1 in that market that are doing $135K to $180K revenue.Happy to chat more on this if you have questions.

Happy to connect with you to chat about investing in/around Boston. 

Feel free to message me if you want to chat further. 

You interact with clients at your spa all the time and have the opportunity to chat with them and make it known you are an agent and can help them.

If you can use OPM on the renovation at say 7% with plan to pay the principal down in less than a year, then I would invest your personal funds elsewhere into another deal or do something with your current STR to help it stand out.From my experience, HELOCs scare me but I do know if done the right way they can be very effective.I'd be happy to chat more on your Smokies STR on how to help make it stand out.

So I go to the diner he has coffee at and chat him up.

I'd be happy to chat with you about both and the good/bad/ugly that I've experienced. 

Experience is the only real teacher, so I’m at take action mode, glad to chat one on one if you have questions.
