Quote from @Brendan M Hornung: I reside in Southern California and started my investment journey in March of last year by purchasing a sub-to single-family home in AL.

However there are lenders starting to roll out a 15% down option. 

Just started with Cohost July.  

We hope that you can remedy the situation so that we can move into a habitable home.Suggestions that we have to fix the issues:Hire a company to rip up the carpets, treat the subfloors, and replace the carpets, at least on the main level and on the stairs.Provide an air purifier as a start to remedying the smell.Replace the garbage disposal.Hire a plumber to fix the draining issue in the bathroom sink of the smaller bedroom.Fix the tiles in the upstairs bathroom so they no longer present a safety hazard.Replace or fix the screen doors.Fix the gap between the windows and the walls in the living room.Hire a professional company to treat the entire home for pests.

Hey all,My name is Tony, I'm 35, just started actively pursuing financial independence and have been really hammering away at learning everything I can.

BUT, the time to START acting is likely now.

I am just starting out and have 1 STR.Would love hear the pros/cons that you took into consideration when deciding how you want to manage your STR.

The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

Have some very competitive prices to start with to get bookings and reviews.

Any city that I'm looking to invest in I always start by looking at population growth.
