I followed that model here in Chicago and it has been a great way to meet all the local rockstars.

I don't care for it, but it's part of their business model and you will be refunded less appraisal cost if they don't close. 

I believe I can use the hybrid model of using it for both STR and MTR.

Hoping you may also have experience with large language model as well.

Keep in mind, I am a professional appraiser and there have been two model match sales in my neighborhood in the last 6 months, so I know what my house is worth with a 2% variance. 

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsYup and people will buy them at tax sale then sell them seller financed for $5k after paying $100 to some sucker who wants to own vacant unbuildable land in middle of no where for $100/month that model is a huge business bigger than most anyone can fathom frankly.

So if I can follow this model and achieve similar-ish returns with limited amounts of work, I require a greater return than that from real estate.

On a tub most like a glass door but kids tend to slam them so we have had to repair some of the cheaper models coming off the track. 

Our wide-open buy box and fast and loose acquisition model also meant we were not satisfied with buying and flipping standard, traditional properties.

I know the general basics of the market, the business model, etc, but I was hoping to take my knowledge to the next level.My biggest goal right now is to own a rental property before I graduate college (currently a junior in high school).For context, I love reading books about investing and personal finance (I have a very solid foundation of knowledge built up) and I currently have a portfolio of about 11k between stocks and crypto.
