@Jon GormanI suggest a blend of dividend aristocrat stocks, a managed fund (BRK.A and B), and a real estate syndicate with a reputable operator.

To prospective homeowners or investors without those skill sets, such houses are total anathema because of the associated contractor costs - we, on the other hand, can squeeze seamlessly into that groove and pick up houses that few people want, at great prices.

Exploring investing in Philly center city condos for long/short term (Airbnb) rentals (thinking probably a blend).

We closed on this property smoothly and seamlessly with the help of my Realtor and the sellers.

Works seamlessly 99.9% of the time (only 1 hiccup that Guesty is working to fix).On others, we use Schlage Connect with RBoy Apps RLA software and a Smartthings/Aeotec Hub.

Typically our events are a nice blend of investors of all skill levels, contractors, agents, and many other professions with real estate ties.I personally have had my entire life changed for the better from networking and hearing other's stories and exchanging value with each other and it is something that you will do for the rest of your life.If you were interested in checking out our events, we have a Facebook page called "Pints and Properties - New England", as well as an email notification list that I could put you on if you would like!

You want to stand out, not blend into the sea of agents in your market.

All my subs use SMAC software in order to create their estimates and work seamlessly with lenders.While, this may not assist you in sourcing properties - it is a great resource for pricing and keeping tabs on your project while also allowing your contractor to keep a budget, track selections, receipts, and notes.Best of luck to you!

I'd rather keep my 2.5-4% interest rates on a majority of the debt and access the equity with a HELOC at a higher rate, essentially creating a blended interest rate of 20% variable, 80% fixed.

I want this to be a seamless transition for the tenant.
