It would not be a terribly profitable industry, and a few large players (hopefully including my NewCo) would dominate the space.

I do NOT rent to any real estate agents, brokerages, or property management companies as they would be a competing business and it wouldn't benefit either of our businesses to share a building.

The best buyers agents provide insight to the market, negotiate to get a better deal, provides clarity to the transaction, steadies the nerves of buyers (first time home buyers for example), identifies problems with the property, introduces a whole cast of players to get the deal done etc.

This property will not compete with hotels is what I thought  We just book multiple rooms next to each other to take advantage of the included Disney transportation.

Alongside my studies, I’ve had the privilege of competing as a Division 1 hockey player, which has taught me the value of discipline and strategy—qualities I’m excited to bring into my real estate journey.I’m looking to purchase my first investment property in the U.S. with a budget of $250,000 to $350,000 in cash.

YUP minimum requirements.. although you would be surprised how many folks cannot get a bond because they lack credit score.. this will weed out the really poor players and give state a vehicle to regualted those that violate the laws without all the grey area currently.

I working to find off market properties in the area to find some deals and not have to compete with every other buyer out there. 66214 isn’t in Topeka.

Can you find something cheaper and run by a competent property management company?
