I'm based in WI and there are several people from NY investing here, some successful and some not---the common thread I see from the ones that are not is that they relied on someone else for information instead of investigating, VERIFYING and doing their own due diligence. 

Quote from @Joy Daniels: As a short-term property manager I've seen how this industry changes so often—new guest trends, tech tools, and regulations seem to pop up all the time.

SF is a very unique market, and actually may be a great time to buy right now, especially if they can successfully turn the city around. 

I look forward to hearing more on your success. 

This is a marathon and not a sprint, so look at it like that so that you can have a long and fruitful career.  

My wife and I are new to the forum and have been listening to the show over the past six months, and we have been motivated by all the success stories from you all!

Ask anyone that has started and grown a successful business and they will probably tell you a similar story. 

For me and my goals, I focus on long-term investing in residential single-family homes in Florida and Georgia.

You’ll get a better return over the long-term by putting your money in the stock market.

@Tiffani HollisFor a long-term rental, I’d avoid used dishwashers entirely—repair costs and reliability issues often outweigh the savings.
