But finding deals and estimating the potential return is something I love doing in my spare time.

It is better to spend most of your spare time or to get a commission. 

If you have the spare funds, it may be worth just hiring a local RE attorney.

Over the past 22 months I have completed several Southern California fix and flips in my spare time and produced a total of about $250K in profit for an average ROI of 50% annual.

I plan to manage it myself because that's what I already do in the multifamily industry.... so I'll spare another PM professional my harsh critiques of how to do their job and just handle it myself (lol). 

I'm in Austin, and been considering renting out a spare bed in my primary residence.wondering if I should consider this trend / news a net positive or negative (possibly better market for "type 1" STR, but increased regulatory burden across the board)

I’ll spare you the story of my best love so let’s celebrate my second best by talking real estate...I have no regrets so far with my first rental property in Kansas, but I do work overseas and I would like to be able to scale my U.S. portfolio to 10+ units in less than 10 years.

I have a friend that is most likely going to rent the spare bedroom on a month to month basis.

With some of the spare time I have, I am putting my self out there to help others.

Having cash to spare is never a bad thing.
