@Raymond Charles Gretz I’m down in Naples and happy to introduce you to a few local meetups

The good places to start investing at the moment are places within a 10 min drive from main urban centers, and which have different types of residents (not just tourism, not just workers, etc).Feel free to reach out in case we may be of assistance.

I take a percent off of total top line (including cleaning fees) that is 5-10% less than what a local "hands on" operator would charge.

And here in Chicago I always check my favorite local homicide tracker whose name violates usage restrictions.Is there other favorite metrics out there that I am missing? 

Think about what renters in your target market value most, such as green spaces, community centers, or high-speed internet access.BTR is a rapidly growing sector, and careful planning of these factors can help ensure your project is successful.

If i lived in San Jose, the first RE investment that i would consider is a local property with an ADU that had distribution on the lot that would allow a profitable lot split.   

In the old days you just hoped on the Intel shuttle  Intel had their own airline. and it ran out of the local hillsboro office.. now she has to go to PDX and go through security etc..

I'm in a beach area where Sat to Sat rentals have been traditional for 100 years, but not any longer since the rise of Airbnb (and less control by local property management companies).

But honestly, you'll want to shop around and compare a few local PMs since fees and services can vary quite a bit.

Generally, the further you get out of the urban center, the more likely you are to find cash flow.
