Make sure to research local rates for cohosting and management services to stay competitive.If you're doing this as a side gig or part-time job, it’s essential to time block, create systems, set expectations with property owners, and establish boundaries to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved.We opted not to pursue rental arbitrage for two key reasons: dealing with landlords and the significant upfront costs to set up and run a profitable STR without the benefit of property ownership.

. 🎉 I’m still finalizing things with my lender, but before I move forward, I want to be 100% sure I’m covering all the key steps.Here’s the checklist I’ve put together so far:Home inspection – to catch any hidden issues.Appraisal – to confirm the property’s value matches the offer.Financing contingency – securing my loan approval without surprises.Title search – ensuring there are no liens or legal issues.Seller disclosures – reviewing any known problems upfront.Neighborhood research – making sure the area fits my investment goals.Are there any crucial steps I’m missing or anything you think I should focus on more?

@Oladimeji SonibareThe issue in simplification is this - >Specifically, when it comes to "foreclosure," I’m not as experienced in that area (honestly, I’m more of a Google Ads guy than a Facebook guy).However, the key is to position yourself as the buyer who can purchase quickly, with cash, and without any hassle—essentially the classic approach of a wholesaler or investor.and in that way your in the white when it comes to the 'legal' aspect of it.I wouldn’t claim to solve these deeper issues directly through the ad creative.However, you can address these concerns during a phone conversation if the issue comes up in your screening process with the seller.
