If I hold my tax deed properties for 10 years, they clear themselves.I also use other means to clear the cloud on the title that doesn't involve court or an attorney. 

the shenandoah area seems to be the new 'secret.' as a former str host, if i was to buy one again, i would..- not buy in a seasonal market, or if i do, ONLY expect to generate $$ in the peak season when i run my numbers- buy something with very low overhead (not an expensive SFH)- make sure it cashflows as a LTR (have a backup plan)- do a more creative stay (glamping, redone vintage camper, etc)

We are headed to Austin TX this morning to attend a real estate event hosted by Phill Grove.

@Max Couper, you should come out a meetup in Berkeley hosted by @Tyler Jahnkehttps://www.meetup.com/realestateunited/events/296118761/Good luck on your journey,-Arlen

I personally use tenant cloud.

Hey Stanley I’m a Real Estate Broker in Staten Island and host bi-monthly investor meetups.

After 10 years of hosting, I don't spend much time each month on my 4 STRs, but newbies who like to watch their cameras, obsess about a lot of (often unnecessary) details, and pile on a bunch of tech (channel managers, dynamic pricing tools, etc.) all at once will spend MUCH more in time, and that's worth something for sure.

It is essential to prioritize data over emotions when analyzing deals, just like an investor would.When it comes to the real estate business, many people tend to let their emotions cloud their judgment and underestimate the importance of building strong relationships.

I host a monthly meetup, and there are several others in the area that would be smart to check out. 

In my experience the people that book further out are less likely to notice your place until you have 30 or so good reviews, super host status, etc.
