@Cathy Fitzwilliam There are some great real estate meetups in San Diego that are full of local pros and out of state investors. 

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $150,000 This is our first deal as a full family (Parents, sister and brother in law, me).

It takes a full analysis.#2:  I analyze a market to decide what criteria makes a property in that market good. 

I’ll fight them 100 percent, but the deck is way stacked against you.

Instead, there should be dollar amounts assigned to specific events, i.e. demolition complete with full haul off, floors broom cleaned, no nails left in studs or subfloors $1,500.Plumbing rough in complete and rough in inspection passed: $4000Final plumbing completed $5000I am clearly making up dollar amounts, but look for these types of bids on large projects.  

While cohosting is my initial step, my goal is to transition into a full-service hospitality management company as the business grows.

However, I didn't continue this since I couldn't find any deals that would allow me to do a full cash-out refinance.  

I know, nitpicky, but if you have a chance. might as well make it perfect :-)Be patient, if your area is a popular one, you will definitely fill up and stay full.

Real estate is definitely a powerful way to build wealth, and this community is full of like-minded individuals who are eager to share advice.

I would charge the full month's rent.
