For me, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

What gets you juiced in the morning?

I love the idea of juicing rents with college rentals, corporate rentals, or airbnb.

Cash flow and thus valuation should increase significantly and I'm expecting to see that begin to bear fruit in the first few months of 2021.I've discovered that the valuation of each individual condo and the low percentage of owner-occupants means that these units are not freddie mac warrantable so I'm looking for creative financing ideas or independent investors to work with.Thoughts and ideas are appreciated!

If you really want to juice your returns, you have the freedom to respond to guests within an hour of receiving an inquiry/question/problem, you’re willing to deal with more hassles and dedicate a few extra hours a week to launch an active biz go STR.If you don’t need to maximize your COC returns and you don’t need extra hassles distracting you and interrupting you from your current work, at dinner time, etc and prefer a more passive investing vehicle then go with LTR.

I've formed several fruitful relationships with out of state investors, we just talk on the phone super consistently.

In this market, you need to get creative if you want things to work out fruitfully for you.

Pros:-You have funds lined out-It forces you to have a plan and stick to itCons:-funds are released in stages-the communication piece in this can be daunting for a newbie with the back and forth between issuing bank, contractors, and your own family throughout the projected timeline and ensuring monies get to everyone at right times.I’d say, the juice is worth the squeeze, but just know it’s gonna be a pressure cooker in experience and growth that you probably weren’t bargaining for.

Marketing takes time to fruit, don't give up too soon.
