I see a lot of new construction in Richmond and Berea as I travel from Lex nearly every day im excited to see how the mega site in Mt Vernon and Richmond grow these areas What surrounding areas of Lexington are you seeing more activity?

California's probate rules can be drastic in the event of death that having a proper estate plan in place can help in any number of situations, including if just traveling or incapacitated.These are all things you will want to discuss with your attorney and CPA.

Furnished mid-term rentals can definitely pull in higher rents, particularly with traveling nurses, corporate tenants, or relocators.

Make sure you have that addressed just from a liability standpoint. 4) You could also look into a mid-term rental option with traveling nurses if you think the unit is truly rentable. 5) AirBnB restrictions have gotten much stricter as well in general in Chicago, so make sure you are on the right side of those if you put your unit up since you are required to register with the City.

@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.

Lastly, check any shared doors or gaps and add door sweeps or weatherstripping to block sound from traveling between the units. 

Everyone gets something different from a particular course or internet information source; we all internalize differently.Another thing I hear folks tell newbies is to offer to take an experienced investor to lunch or coffee.  

I will figure out what to do with it when I get to $20M, but it will probably just be finding new ways to improve built environment along with travelling more and spending more quality time with fam. 

They do however have available one on one coaching and some programs that have been vetted that are available if it is something you are interested in, like running AirBnBs, or learning how to travel hack credit cards.

Being in the Army limits my ability to travel and explore markets firsthand.
