Referrals can be a game-changer in expanding your investor network.

However I would not consider them to be truly passive because they do not put any skin into the game like a good passive investment does (via a sizable coinvestment).

Honestly, it's not BS- this is how professional tenants play the game, you need to know the rules.

The ROI will vary depending on the listing. 

But you note that Blackstone is a major investor in Austin, so the contrarian point is to NOT invest in Austin.I have no skin in the game either way.  

My first time posting as I am brand new to the game.

@Dawn W.There will always be varying opinions on whether long-term or short-term rentals are better, but here’s my personal take.I favor long-term rentals because they make the investment more passive.

You’re already ahead of the game given your background in finding deals.

Historically, the exact amount of shared commission varied, but this led to most sellers paying about 6% of the home’s sales price, with 3% going to their agent and 3% to the buyer’s agent.

We were just at the game on Saturday, it's a great experience.
