My name is Jaedon Carlisle.I am a new investor looking for 4-plexes and small commerical units.I currently reside in Redding as well and I would be very interested in meetups or any existing groups.As mentioned above, I have noticed very little inventory and the inventory that exists seems to be very expesnive relative to what I believe constitutes a good deal (at least in my inexperienced view).I am 26 and looking to make this my career.

And they’ve cost me alone well over $30k in damages and lost rent thanks to their complete negligence.

They do not take into account the revenue from the STR in valuation.Just because you are doing well with it doesn't mean it will work for the buyer.

Your plumber/GC should/should have definitely know(n). 

"But rates have been at 7% or higher in the past, and investors still did well!"

Take into consideration that when the person you gifted the property to will have special tax considerations as well 

This is a structure we’ve implemented with our private investors, and it’s been working really well for everyone involved.Here’s an example of how tiered returns might look in a lending scenario:Investment AmountAnnualized Return$100,000 - $249,99915%$250,000 - $499,99916%$500,000 - $999,99917%$1,000,000 and above18%Why Use a Tiered Structure?

The markets I'm focused on for my next MTR are my local market here in NC as well as Colorado Springs.

It has rented well over the years.

I have also taken the relo rental option a few times as well, both as renter and as owner.
