The paperwork I had to fill out to sell my house in 2015 was three times as long as the rental agreement I signed that year.As food for thought on how landlords might be impacted eventually by the trends today, think about artificial intelligence replacing humans.

While initially, this strategy seemed so risky because of the distance and not being able to check in on our investments, I believe that with a few deals behind me, I can leverage the skills I have built building my catering business into building a great support team.

I can't see how you would qualify for food-stamps if you have 7-10% available cash for a downpayment.  

Just food for thought!

Another is that it is not fun to cater to the whim of every individual owner when serving as a board member.

Keep in mind, many of these posts are several years old, and things may have changed for the better, but the following may make for some food for thought...http://www.city-data.com/forum/phoenix-area/516485-whats-deal-palomino-greenway-square.htmlhttp://wikimapia.org/684580/The-Squarehttps://www.apartmentratings.com/az/phoenix/palomino-pointe_602971199885032/Also, there are currently 81 Google Reviews for Palomino Pointe Apartments (the complex your potential building resides in), they can be rather insightful as well.Not trying to scare you away from the place, but be advised that managing such a property may be more challenging than most.

like its some animal of its own.. its simply a company that instead of retailing homes to home buyers  sells them once rehabbed to investors.. nothing more nothing less. nothing different than going to the grocery store and buying your food.. 

A short term rental cannot compete with these resorts since they don't have what people want: the amenities and unlimited food and drink to do.The short-term rental customers oftentimes hate Punta Cana (all those I've met at least) want a different experience.

Thanks for food for thought Charles!

They work 10-12 hours a day, and just need a place to drink beer, cook food, do laundry, take a shower, and sleep.
