I think it’s a more recent consideration (maybe in the past decade or so based on my digging / anecdotal feedback) and perhaps some of you that have been in the business longer and simply renewing old policies may be getting a pass.  

Now of course there are still deals to be had out there, I am not saying that, but its a lot harder to find those deals today than five years ago when everything was a deal due to low interest rates.We are always buying but this is my business, so we have a team etc. to manage it.

Most of us are running lodging businesses in areas that are zoned residential. 

Over the past couple of years, I’ve learned a lot about the business—like how to analyze markets, underwrite deals, and connect with brokers.

I’m an out-of-state investor working on building my online presence, and I’m currently running into an issue with setting up my Google My Business (GMB) account.

The down side is that STRs are more work, need to furnish it, pay for utilities and WiFI but in the right market (vacationers and business travelers) it could work. - If I were looking at cash flow as a really important important metric, I'd consider starting a business.

I am a professional photographer and have been doing that for the past 18 years, so I'll also be building my business in NC from the ground up!

A few clients or properties can suck up all of our time and attention and ultimately, prevent us from taking on more business. 

We also have a finish carpentry business.

I'm starting to see and hear signs of interest in real estate, and anticipate that if there is an increase now that it leads to a busy spring and summer.I would like to hear from others who are localized to Colorado and just see what you gals and guys are seeing and experiencing as well.
