While I don't own a STR (but am contemplating it) I have rented via Airb&b & VRBO for years.

In a condo that I am getting ready to sell and I am contemplating taking the cash vs 1031 Exchange.

I'm contemplating using Cogo on a 100k deal now...should I try them or use another lender?

I am contemplating whether to do a similar "hack" on a property in a Seattle suburb.

After much contemplation and research, I feel confident to begin my journey in real estate investing.

Hey @Jeroh Odafe, we have a proprietary BRRRR calculator and I've assessed the contemplated transaction with our tool.

People contemplating trying to wholesale should understand, I mean REALLY understand, that wholesaling is a BUSINESS.  

My family and I are contemplating building a 2nd home on Beach Lake or Sunset Lake in particular (5 minutes from Castle Rock Lake) and utilizing it as an STR the rest of the year when not there. 

Now if you want to discuss all the iniquities going on out there, my favorite is about Wills where heirs or claimants to Estates of wealthy and upstanding decedents go to extreme length to forge signatures, force executions of will under duress when someone is ill and dying, well, that's an interesting subject to discuss over a nice glass of drink to contemplate on human nature.

In addition, the 1031 like-kind exchange allows investors to defer taxes when they reinvest the proceeds from the sale of an investment property into another investment property.Plus the withholding 15% tax is refundable once a tax report is produced and the capital gains are submitted to the IRS.I suggest you learn the tax implications both here and where you live of your contemplated investment.
