Oakland in general has large demand for LTR, especially in the family-friendly neighborhoods, so I wouldn't be surprised if you are already seeing many applicants on day 1.

As a frequent Airbnb user, I personally wouldn’t choose a place just because an influencer recommended it.If you’re compensating in perks, that might work, but if I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t spend my hard-earned money that way.

I gathered all my notes in a 50+ pages document touching on the formation and maintenance of LLC and business structures, transferring assets, protection strategies, trusts, anonymity, insurance, levels of protection, etc. including when you should do it, how many properties per LLC, due on sale clause, selecting an attorney, fees, checklists and resource materials.Doc: https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/tritoriam-fileAsset Protection Decision Diagram - to help assess the need for asset protection, and what to implement : https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-decision-diagramAsset Protection Onion Diagram - what, when and at what cost one should implement in terms of asset protection - https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-onion-diagram-v2What is needed for complete asset protection OR the domains that need to be intersected to find asset protection - https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-spectrum-diagram (this is more of a joke depicting the nebulosity of asspro rabbit holes).How a fully implemented asset protection layout might look. - https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-structures (overwhelming and overkill for a newbie in REI)PS.

TL;DR* Aggressively pushing 'maintenance' and for the most part for things not requiring any maintenance* In-house maintenance rates are eye-watering, way higher than what you'd see in even most expensive markets* Maintenance does not require owner's approval - RL reserves decision what to do when, cheaper plans have higher limits and all are at RL's discretion * Refuses to manage in many parts of townLonger versionSigned up for their service after a few conversations over the phone - owner stressed investor-friendly approach.

I had another friend who did the Pace Morby and Brent Daniels training after they joined the WREIN mentorship.

Network with some investor friendly agents that might be able to help you - they should be able find you deals and get you resources that you'll need to be successful.

, but my friend @Brad Stegall hosts an AWESOME MEETUP in Peoria, Illinois, which shouldn't be too far for you.What do you see happening currently in the Champaign Market?

Finding a short-term rental (STR) that works with a mortgage is achievable, but it's essential to start by working with an investor-friendly real estate agent.

Hi friends, I am a real estate investor from Israel and new to this market, I would appreciate recommendations on good agents to work with, who have experience with remote contacts.In addition, if there are investors here in the group that I can talk to, get to know, hear and learn about the city and recommended investment areas, I would appreciate it if you could send me a message

We have a lot of friends and connections there, and have been there before.
