The significant appreciation and consistent cash flow are a reflection of the potential that exists when you carefully assess opportunities and execute with diligence.If you’re curious about how to replicate this success or want to discuss real estate strategies, I’m more than happy to share insights and experiences.

Now it is consistently cash flowing well so we probably would never move back into it.

Lower risk but more consistent cash. 

Over time, gain knowledge and experience so that one day 3 or 4 deals down the road, one is ready to handle the huge responsibility of taking care of other people’s cash.One should also take stock of where they are at - what strength and capabilities they have, what income, what amount of capital, who their social and professional sphere is, etc etc and then come up with a real aka tic plan as to how to proceed.This all can be done but it takes a cold hard assessment of reality and then consistent effort over time to make it happen.Now that @Amir owns some rental property, he can tell his friends, family and associates about it and as they see him do well, NOW he will have more success asking for capital to do bigger deals.There’s an expression How does one eat an elephant?

My point that I am trying to drive home is that most lenders are within a pretty tight shot group, and I would rather pay $500 - $1000 more for better advice, better service, better follow up, better communication etc. 

We have done a few structural remodels in Syracuse and consistently faced illogical delays with the reviewers, along with new sets of comments each time.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

Just seems like a long shot.

I strongly suggest anyone doing a subject to transaction contact an attorney such as yourself to ensure the best shot at the best outcome. 

STR regulations are a big consideration before you make any big capital improvements specifically for short term stays, also running your numbers and making sure that your area offers consistent returns above what you'd get renting it long-term.
