To support my seller and seize a valuable opportunity, my business partner and I decided to purchase the property ourselves.

Quote from @Sri Reddy: I am a newbie to real estate investing and looking for guidance from the teams here to understand the sources from where we can find any small retail spaces to buy.

I’ve seen many buyers successfully execute this strategy over the years, turning such properties into valuable investments.

I know I'm probably making mistakes along the way, but its been a valuable learning process. 

Looking for some guidance here.

You don't have to fit into a traditional "avatar" box to bring valuable insight, so don't sell yourself short. :)This is especially true if you rely on furnishedfinder.com as your primary lead source (which you shouldn't, but that's another post) as when you make that connection with a prospective resident, you are selling yourself as a landlord as much as you are the property as a place to live.

Primary host with brand account + co-host with personal account-Pros: Could continue to scale and then sell all listings & account together as a business rather than strictly real estate assets (more valuable with the 10 cabin property than with the SFH STRs).

I know he will be able to give you the proper guidance that you need in order to make a sound decision.

Being nearby allows you to stay hands-on—you can see, touch, and fully immerse yourself in the process.There’s a lot to learn, not just about managing rentals but also about overseeing property management companies.Handling tenants and maintenance can feel overwhelming at times, but starting with a property close to home gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience.

Looking for guidance on the best way to proceed going forward in terms of asset protection and how to structure all of this real estate…
