In my market and markets around me you can get a high quality rental for 150-300k.Rentals aren't feasible for everyone especially if you're in a market that's super expensive and not a seasoned real estate investor this is what leads people to invest out of state passively. 

The requirements are:1 - You must be personable and have the ability to answer questions with more than one word answers.2 - You must have high-speed internet of at least 15 mb/s (preferably 20mb+)3 - You must have a web camera (we record audio and video for all shows) and we do require a decent microphone.

Those little upgrades can make a big difference in attracting quality tenants.

Some owners don't want to put out tens of thousands more to outfit a high quality STR. 

Today the real need is quality lead lists of actual motivated, stressed sellers!!!!!!!   

Speed of Financing: Time is crucial in fix and flips, and traditional loans (like bank loans) can be too slow.

There are different opinions about how to interview and locate a quality PM.

If you charge below market rate, you will attract low-quality renters who are more likely to trash the property and make your life miserable.

I was on the attorney general's speed dial list for about a year.

The noise from upstairs is annoying so next time I'd do more testing of the quality of soundproofing in the ceiling (older home so wasn't as good).
