Quote from @Olivia Armstrong: Hey all, My husband and I have been searching for a property purchase, one that temporary checks our boxes and also kickstarts our investing journey.

I learned about the city over time and began my out-of-state investing journey.Whatever market you choose, be sure to nail down your buy box.

There is no active electric and where the breakers were taken out of the breaker box.

I bought a brand new in the box $285 microwave off Facebook marketplace today for $35.  

Specifically from the Caged AC Unit into the attic (concrete slab so no crawl space).I was thinking of just building a tall vertical box to place this into.  

Our buy box specifically focuses on vacation destination accommodations - including boutique motel/hotel, campgrounds, treehouses, cabins, etc.   

I am still trying to figure out my buy box, but long term rentals feels like the right strategy for us.   

Also, Since my buy box is pretty narrow, even though I’m pretty good at doing the title research myself, I’ll still pull a title report for each one.

👋As real estate investors, staying ahead of the curve often means thinking outside the box.

Almost anyone with a real service animal, would have had it with them at the viewing.On the application next time, have a box that asks if they have an animal that will be living with them-not a pet, but an animal.
