I am brand new and interested in my first foray into real estate investing.

You could find a partner to help establish an LLC that rents out your property long term, then subleases on a short term basis (master lease is one that is designed for subleasing, it is a way many people pick up STRs without actually purchasing any property, they just find owners who are okay with them subleasing on a STR basis). 

However, the inspector mentioned that the 2nd and 3rd floors are labeled as "Artist Dwellings," though he wasn’t sure what that fully entails.He suggested applying for a special permit to present the space as artist studios or dwellings, with the hope of eventually converting them into long-term rental (LTR) apartments under that designation.

I am a business intelligence pro & designer who is a host and passionate about STRs.

What is your go-to paint color and brand?

I use a very non scientific $20 per foot for furnishing which includes a designer. 

This was the ideal value add situation, where I didn't have to change much on the layout.. mostly just design.

I don't know how severe the issues were that caused you to cancel 7 deals, but I can tell you that either your agent is absolutely blind or you are blowing small issues way out of proportion.You are not getting a new roof with a used house, just as much as you are not getting brand new breaks on a used car.

Just like auto insurance, it isn't to buy you a brand new car, it is to fix yours or give you the value of the car as of the date of loss.

Our vision is to build a brand that is well liked and respected in the communities we are improving.GOALS SHORT TERM (1-5 yrs.)
