Due to our love of traveling and hating the negatives that LTR brings along, we prefer STR and offering the same memorable experiences to travelers that we have experienced when traveling.

My last few BRRRRs I ended up with negative equity, even though after a full gut rehab, still worth it in a market full of old houses.

We are actively looking at the processes that caused your negative experience - so we can improve them for future tenants.I realize the first 5 days were far from ideal - and we'll do everything we possibly can to make the rest of your experience much better.

May negative cashflow until fixed.3) Buy established business: assuming you mean something other than real estate related.
