So one way to change incomes is ERASE foreign nations competitive advantage in sectors, better known as TERIFFS.

Not as a trainer or guru but as a Back of the room Vendor ( Lender to the students looking to fix and flip or BRRR) the high profile guru's just take a page out of Amway and MLM .. huge budgets professional actors as there front folks .. presentations that are geared to what everyone wants financial freedom and more time with the kiddos thats the hot buttons..

It's a great way to reduce your costs and is a clear competitive advantage in sourcing opportunities.

My Nephew is a student at University of Utah and a competitive climber, and he has a lot of climbing friends that would live with him.- Buy a house / 4 plex, take one of the rooms / units, and rent out the rest- Family can just come and stay with the Nephew when needed. - Build out the equity on the house while living at reduced price (hopefully) due to charged rent.  

Yeah if we had a re-do button perhaps we would have skipped this last purchase or done more due-diligence prior to the purchase.But very happy with our other properties.....Hi Account Closed - Where is your STR located ?

I will try out the “contact all lenders at once” button tonight. 

Residential work is pretty easy, so I price it competitively if it's a local job and not a very large home.

This fall is the best time of year to buy a house in *my opinion* because you have less competition and often more leverage than during the heat of summer.

I've seen/heard people getting more competitive bids in the higher risk markets, but yeah I do think the subtle increases 2-3% are a bit aggressive. 

Also running an STR business is not just as easy throwing it on Airbnb anymore, it is a competitive business.
