I probably have put too much emphasis on it being that this is my first deal.

Residential multi family and crypto, heavy emphasis on crypto.

The entire business of real estate has a heavy emphasis on social networking, and meeting as many people as possible; through this post I hope to take a step toward that direction.

If you are an out of state investor and are investing in the best markets that suit your income, cash reserves, goals, and emphasis on cash flow versus appreciation, than getting into a turnkey asset is a relatively smoother way to get started versus trying to take on a BRRRR as your first investment.

Emphasis on local area connections with cleaners, handymen, pool/landscaping, etc.

You can look to hard money lenders who put more emphasis on the deal but will want you to have some skin in the game. 

@Jeff White mentioned goals and I'd like to put some emphasis on that.

ITs just not for me.I think we put too much emphasis on what someone else says you should do.   

How much emphasis/effort do you put into the Welcome Letter for your STR?

The emphasis is on reasonable, not heroic.
