Has anyone used AI Cold Callers?
20 January 2025 | 6 replies
Cold calling is already such a poor-performing strategy. the ONE thing good about cold calling is that you are talking to a HUMAN, building rapport, and asking and answering questions.Now that ONE good thing about it is taken away...Like David above me, no experience, and it would indeed be interesting to see how it does, but that doesn't take away from what I mentioned above.

Please help me get started for mid-term rental investments
31 January 2025 | 24 replies
Quote from @Jeff Roth: Hi Lina from Texas-Congratulations on your interest in investing in mid-term rentals and you are wondering how and where to get started.I get this question frequently from investors.Sometimes and investor is looking to keep their property cashflow positive as insurance and taxes have squeezed cashflow by turning units into mid-term or short-term rentals.First off, ideally, the property will cashflow as a long-term rental should something disrupt the mid-term rental model.You will also want to have the property be near where there would be a demand for mid-term rentals (hospitals, universities, research centers).Monthly rents for mid-term rentals are about 20% (+/-) higher than unfurnished similar long-term rentals.There are property managers that will manage mid-term rentals for you and I always advise my clients to use property managers to keep their investment as passive as possible and for compliance issues related to Fair Housing Laws and local regulations.To Your Success!
