I am a firm believer that the value of real estate will continue to increase year over year.

The Taylor Law Firm, Harrison Law Firm, and Gene Davis Law are a few who I have used.As mentioned by David Ramirez, I would recommend partnering up with someone or identifying and working with a number of cash buyers prior to signing the purchase agreement.

For out-of-state STRs investors, is it normal for a cohost / property manager to insist on creating an OTA listing on their account to better streamline their systems? Seems like a potential issue if I stop working wi...

You could, for instance, buy a rental property and employ property management firm to take care of it, but you can't work for your company in any capacity and get paid for it.

I lend money privately and would never consider this as it is dependent on things out of my control (permits, neighbors, you being a good host, rental demand etc) I sell a ton of STR that are in actual resort communities and have great amenities and they are all  competing for the same guests, I can't imagine that there is a need/demand for this type of unit.

We try to be flexible, but firm, because no one really likes a butthole landlord.  

Then, I did the Webnar David Greene hosted, for the 90 day challenge.

It seems like most PM Firms post fluff.

Hope to hear more on here from others and their thoughts and experience with Big Bear, especially from fellow hosts like me. 

Yes I bought and sold it myself through my real estate firm
