I have another call tonight and will be very interested to hear what actionable steps will be taken to ensure better booking rate and higher ADR.If someone has another coach with a more reasonable rate structure with good curated learning materials, I would be very interested to hear.

If your goal is to offset your mortgage with a house hack then Lowell would be a good bet, but if you're looking for a longer term appreciation play then the areas closer to the city would be better, although the offset from cashflow may be lower than what you're looking for.A good step for you would be to dig into specific areas more as @Lien Vuong noted above.

Pretty much my first step should be work as a loan officer and then the rest will come to me?

Best practices for security deposit deductions (damages)?

Quote from @Matthew Posteraro: I am in the phase of practicing deal analysis on possible investment properties in the area I am looking to invest in.

My vision includes developing the land into a destination with features like driveways, walking paths, utilities, and unique lodging structures.Here’s my tentative plan1.Place the existing STR in an LLC2.Apply for an SBA small business loan to fund the next steps, including a feasibility study (~$10k+), land clearing, and infrastructure development.While this direction excites me, I’m torn between pursuing this venture and continuing with a more traditional approach—buying one home per year using conventional loans.I’d love to hear your thoughts:•Has anyone transitioned from STRs to glamping or similar ventures?

I live near Richmond, VA, but if you have a national bank then I thought I could just have my local branch call the bank manager you used so that s/he can walk my rep through the steps required to make it happen. 

You have to practice and find smart ways to move around PPC/PPL is definitely something I’m keeping on my radar, it’s great to hear that it's working for you and bringing in motivated sellers.

ALSO they have regs on rooming houses only allowed in specific zoning, similar zoning as for hotels;  only on main streets in business districts AND you have to apply for licensing and blabla as for a hotel..That said;  there is a small movement supporting rent by the room as a small step toward solving affordable housing. 

I have never bought a lot and have no idea what are the steps and the things to consider, when evaluating this option.
