The DP is the initial equity you buy. 

Hey, Noobie here but am looking at MTR as an initial step into real estate investing.

Some people love that as the initial numbers look good, but probably over the long term they get tired of the common issues landlords face.It's not that hard typically to find a move in ready property, or even to find one that needs minor repairs, where you can capture the equity yourself vs the person selling it to you. 

LTC is sometimes referred to initial funding.

Good afternoon Jaycee, 6 make up the equity and they are currently under my name due to some past Refi's.I have actually proposed selling the trucking company to one of my drivers or at least giving him a percentage to recoup some of my initial investment.

I typically make my initial offer at 75% of my MAO.

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

The initial online material is $97 and the 3-day certification is $1,495 (after $1,000 discount), all which will be reimbursed with first few deals. 

Honestly, being very realistic, you do most of the time in the beginning have to do some initial discounting.

It actually went to auction initially on the 8th but no bidders except the starting bid which I believe was the bank.
