Hey @Jonathan Sanchez, a lot will depend on your area.If you are buying in a saturated area with lots of competition, then using an aggregator like Pricelabs to help make your pricing accurate is handy.If you are in an area that has less, then simply looking at nearby properties that are similar to yours on VRBO and AirBNB.

Second, success often depends on creativity, persistence, and a willingness to negotiate.

Am I correct that a condo, depending on area and neighborhood, could be a lower risk/maintenance investment for an absentee landlord as opposed to other properties?

It really depends.

@Brian Dolbeare This is a "it depends" question for sure, but in most cases street parking is pretty common here.

If the $700K sales price is not used correctly to acquire qualified real estate, the exchange could fail, triggering tax liability.Future exchanges will depend on the total value of the replacement property acquired, so entering syndications could limit flexibility.

When it comes to furniture/design it depends.

Depending on the seller, you may sweeten the deal, by letting them know that they don't immediately need to cash out, or can partly cash out.

I’ve been a serial house hacker in the greater Boston area so happy to connect and share some lessons learned.Multifams inventories are quite low depending on your budget and location preferences.  

I might have to anti-SLAPP and even sue them back for malicious prosecution or malicious use of process depending on what happens in the future.
