Feel free to reach out to me.

Get comfortable with a certain degree of uncertainty but still take action. 

I've been investing and hanging out on BP for close to a decade now, so please feel free to reach out with questions.

If you go RBTR, here are a few key criteria I've seen to assure comfort of living and lower vacancy / turnover:- at least 400sqft per tenant and no more than 2 tenants to 1 full bath -excess parking where folks aren't blocking each other in and you're not getting complaints from your neighbors about overtaking the street parking.

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.I feel directly owned properties are great because they give me maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how I want.

Very easy to get pulled into a bad property or an area you’re not comfortable with by listening to the wrong people.

I had been somewhat interested in short term furnished rentals (30 days or more) I looked into Homesuite.com then I called a few operators around me to feel out the competition. 

I have closed projects in Pittsburgh before, so the area I am comfortable with.

I'd recommend going there and knocking on the door of a dozen neighbors to get their feel.

Anyone out there feeling this?
