A lot of these southern beach & mountain towns have been supporting STR for 75+ years, long before Airbnb was a thing, so they’re very comfortable with it and it’s a built-in part of the community.A lot of Northern places are FREAKING OUT over STRs & STR regulations & they don’t seem to be very supportive of it.

Hey @Jeff Ryan - While I can not speak to your exact situation, I can speak to the thousands of homes I have walked here in Chicago, where majority of the homes were built in the late 1800s/early 1900s.I would say that 7/10 of the older homes I look at have some sort of settlement in the foundation, which causes the cracks and sloped floors you are mentioned you are seeing in your property. 

It's always a plus when you can get your property valuation increased and the tenant pays for the new item, just so long as your downside risk is mitigated, too.Good luck!

You are the member of the LLC not an s corp or a c corp which owns the LLC - which is more traditional in syndications and other setupsSo that’s the confusing thing…They list as not exempt:1) corporations2) LLCs where one member is a corporationI feel like item 1 would disqualify ALL LLCs (since they are corporations).

That way you can tap into your down payment and whatever equity you built to continue onto the next one.If you're going for a 2 family for 600K with 10% down in lets say jersey city heights and not doing much reno, you're most likely breaking even when you move out of your house hack and rent it fully.

Some of the projects were with a local partner as well and then the managing chores were split between us.The lending perspective was stiff in the beginning, as I didn't have any experience at all, also no credit score, and that project was only by myself, so the leverage was low, but I could work on a low-price property to start.Fast forward 5 years, I have built a credit score with 2 credit cards under my ITIN of more than 650, and done 4 properties as experience.

I'm looking forward the data analytics page getting built out fully; the beta version shows promise.The fees for credit card payment, using FF affiliate KeyCheck, are higher than most of our guests want to pay.

While I can’t promote my company directly, I’m looking to connect with cash buyers in key markets such as Florida, Arizona, Michigan, Alabama, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully built relationships with cash buyers.What strategies or platforms have you found most effective for connecting with them?
