Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest long distance, I definitely recommend building your core-4 team.

Hi - I am looking to purchase a property in the Smoky Mountains area and operate as a short term rental.

The assets become difficult to operate as the price points are disproportionately impacted  by operating expenses and  cap ex.

That means their tithes were in many ways similar to our tax system of today i.e. those moneys/products served to allow for the ongoing operation of the government and the needy in society.

That's how many of the larger complexes get funding to buy and rehab buildings,, that the normal small investor can not afford.Section 8 like other government programs has difficult aspects to it to manage, the people on section 8 are like a bushel of apples, some good some rotten to the core, and when mixed together the entire bushel tends to go rotten if the rotten apples aren't tossed out of the bushel.LOTS of paperwork and inspections and the inspectors are just as complicated as the tenants sometimes.

My family owns REI Nation & we operate in the turnkey space primarily in the Southeast.

(These averages represent state-level data, and individual cities may levy additional taxes.)To achieve the same level of cash flow as a property in Nevada, you would need to generate a higher cash flow in Texas to offset the higher operating costs.

That is the best way and usually how I operate especially in the slow season to keep my subs busy.  

There are many different DSCR lenders that operate in their own way.

Thank you all for contributing your experiences on this discussion to make our community aware of operators they should stay away from.
