Quote from @Parker Bullard: I'm looking to purchase my first investment property and need help figuring out a strategy that will work for me.

Are there any other SPB STR investors out there that can tell me how imoortant it is to be on/near the water?

@Dillon Clark-don't pay extra down on your mortgage-don't use a HELOC-save up as much as you can-hope this helps

You should just tell them up front you think they have no value.

Quote from @Praveen Kumar: Hi everyone,Me and my wife very new to real estate investment and yet to buy a property.

For Example:  All Blue houses make more money.Lots of times, I tell people not to trust me, since my topics can be vetted, plus I don't know their personal situations.Just surprised that people on the Forum don't have more Podcast visits referenced in their bylines. 

I ended up with some rules, couple here:1.Discrimination - Never Rent to Attorneys, Law students or Law Professors.Learn all you can about the Housing Laws i.e.

Preferably looking for properties under $200k, but up to $300k.

I ended up getting the online course and it was pretty disappointed. 

Never force the numbers—if they don’t add up, the property isn’t a good fit.
