The social engineers (lawmakers and their special interest handlers) stifle and discourage growth, individual liberty, and confiscate property (your hard earned income), they are absolutely crazy.

Not having individual meters is simply unprofessional.

Even as a seller focused or listing broker, providing investors with live mortgage rates, programs and accurate resources has proven essential to maximizing transactional incentive and client conversion throughout the years..Although I've never actually executed dual duties on any single transactions (and don't think most investors want to entrust that responsibility to a individual party - nor would I want it!)

Whether it's joint ventures, co-investing, or sharing insights, I'm always eager to connect with other investors who share my vision for success in real estate.My goal is not just to succeed individually but also to contribute positively to the real estate community by fostering growth, innovation, and ethical investment practices.

Additionally, many licensed people (myself included) will never agree to pay "finders fees," "referrals," "commissions," or whatever else the same fee can be called to an unlicensed individual. 

I am in the camp that anyone can be found rather easily but it's a choice of your comfort level and what your desired outcome is.  

Point is, yes, this strategy works and MY place works well for business travelers (individuals) and the occasional medical professional (who--no offense--ALWAYS asks for a discount :).

Turnkey properties can be a solid choice if you're looking for a low-hassle way to get into short-term rentals, especially if you’re new to investing or don’t want to deal with renovations.
