It's been a very, very bumpy road to be under contract - and past the due dilligence period - on a new build we are purchasing with the intent to use it as a STR (and some personal use).

For us we are on stand alone lots so full landscaping front back with sprinklers and fully fenced and we paint our fences so the whole development the fences are uniform.

This is my practice house because we are building a 4plex (with parking!)

Its also a good idea to build relationships with realtors, contractors, insurance agents, real estate attorneys, and property managers in your area so take advantage of events, conferences, and meetups.

This is a summarized version of events, but stray I rescued off the street gave birth to 7 puppies, bringing my total to 13.

If we are purchasing properties when the market is a highly appreciated seller’s market, we need to realize we may be in DUMB DEBT and should be prepared for the risk of suffering the consequences if and when the economy turns for the worst and goes into a recession as this will likely cause values to drop.

May see some slight reductions but we are most likely not going from say 7% to 5.5% unless of a major economic crisis which would also cause home prices to get hit.

I got an unsual response to a listing of mine today:Good morning, We are home health care agency, and we want to rent the house to care for disabled or elderly clients that are unable to care for themselves 4 -6 unrelated people.

We are in the woods where we really wanted to create another sort of living space outside of the square footage of the home. 

my business has currently done 1 flip and we are wondering how much we should take from the profit?
