Important note, it takes a lot of reps to be self sufficient as an agent so you will want to join a team of active agents that can help you through the process.Please feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any qs - happy to hop on a call to chat you through it!

While I am still having significant responsiveness issues, the quality of the listing and this new PM’s understanding of market rates is significantly better than my previous PM.I’ll note that during this time, there had been 2 hurricanes in surrounding markets (fortunately no damage to my property from either) that likely contributed to some of this vacancy.

On a side note, oddly, the tenant before her was also a single woman, around the same age, stayed in the apartment for 10 months, no communication or heads up, left around the same time of the year.

Also- please note that most first time flippers need an experienced partner or trainer to avoid these pitfalls and to be successful. 

My investments were all what they termed private placement and was essentially funds used for lending, buying notes and recently land trust.After MIdland sprun this on us, my spouse also has accounts, I did some research but didn't see a purpose to remove our accounts at the time.I have not been with ET long enough to give comment on them and what little "issues" occured were technical.

or are these in fact just unsecured notes with no collateral ???

There are rentals, fix and flippers, lenders, tax liens, note investors, STR, commercial etc.

.• Creative Financing: Keep an open mind to creative financing strategies; sometimes thinking outside the traditional box can reveal opportunities others might overlook.On a related note, I help investors streamline their operations by generating quality leads and assisting with VA hiring, which might be useful as you build your team and network in the area.Looking forward to seeing your progress and sharing insights along the way.

It is also worth noting that property management is often closer to 30% of gross rent for a short-term rental due to the much more intensive hands-on management compared to a typical 10% for long-term and as such, I agree with recommendations above that medium term rentals may provide the best of both worlds if you are able to tailor proximity to a local need, e.g. hospitals and travel nurses.Again, happy to relay my personal experiences in the area if you're interested.Best of luck,Patrick

Also to note the garage is very small and awkward to park in.
