Take pics many videos, then call city code enforcement for inspection.Also, look into your state & local laws about escrowing rent for lack of maintenance and follow the rules EXACTLY.

HIGHLY recommend you STOP watching S8 YouTube videos and spend more time here reading posts about S8 to learn reality not hype.

That said, if you have an agent who knows STRs and feel comfortable with their video skills and their judgement, that can work. -- Find an agent that specializes in STRs.

If you do a couple of deals with this info and his other videos, this may allow you to pay for the coaching down the line.

@Caio Ferreira Torres you mean a podcast/youtube video/ticktok wasn't accurate? 

I know this is common but I never have heard any podcasts, blogs, or videos talk about this. 

Hi, All:I know this has been addressed in the past but I wanted to share my experience and get some feedback on others' interactions with Freedom Mentor.I've been seeking a mentor in REI for a while and have been watching Phil's videos on YouTube for years so I sought his 'mentorship' via his Freedom Mentor Program.

So me and my future wife have seen hours of videos on the BRRR method, ADUs, cash on cash returns, and utilizing the way of adding equity into a home.

in the video says that a landlord cannot collect any security deposit if the tenant has an ESA.

If you're dead-set on OOS REI, then I'd suggest studying up on the books, articles, forum posts, videos, etc. on the subject, and talking with as many OOS investors as possible (ESPECIALLY inexperienced investors who tried OOS REI for one of their first deals).
