@Fiona Layne-GerminBeginner-friendly strategies for building long-term wealth include house hacking, buy and hold rentals, BRRRR Method, real estate syndicatations, rent-by-the-room strategy, short-term or mid-term rentals, and partnering with experienced investors.

Converting the short-term rental to a long-term one can help reduce the hassles of frequent turnover and management while offering more predictable cash flow.

It's important to have your attorney review the title commitment, as I've seen "wholesaler-friendly" title companies include various items in the title exceptions that could cause problems later on.

thank  you Laura -I do feel good about the compensation as they have been our only boots on the ground as we just can’t use “ friends” anymore ..I also found out that the $500 monthly fee is lifted once the place is rented and she goes to a much lower rate / hourly when things arise .I just thought it was a unique price structure and have never heard of things executed as such before .Thanks again for your reply-Christian
