Doing it the right way is cheaper in the long run . 

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

The best protection for you and your investments?

You have to compare your expenses with each management style and find the option that works best for you.

Between strict public record laws, limited access to data, and the way certain counties handle records, finding motivated sellers can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. 

Any recommendations, pls send in my way. 

The current way is hire cheap foreig VAs to manually do it which involves finding, hiring, training, monitoring, managing, paying, keeping teams of people which is time consuming, expensive compared to automation and to some extent stressful.

Best of luck with your STR!

If structured well, this can be a great way to get started without much cash.

The best strategy I seem to have deployed so far was to contact all my current tenants and let them know I’d give them a cash referral fee of $250 for anyone they recommend to me that goes through the vetting process and successfully moves in.
