Hi Thu, self-managed STR owner in the California High Desert and realtor who has helped several clients purchase properties for the purpose of renting on a short-term basis.General questions pertaining to the overall STR landscape should not incur a cost when directed at a PM/co-host.

Her deployment (not sure the deployment is short term or long term) was last month and asked me to allow her son and grand children to stay and she will continue to pay the rent.

In any partnership you can't just cut a check and hope for the best especially if you're providing the money and the other partners don't have more than their time in the game.

Most of these scammers are overseas and not English speakers, and you can tell by their grammar and word usage, or they use very short sentences so they don't have to say much.

You don't get better roi -- build a nice monthly income with a couple props in this realm and then move on to a "better" area to play the lower returns hopeful appreciation game - or consider single family, flipping etc.  

If EVs ever start coming with bidirectional charging that will be a massive game changer in the electricity market. 

If I knew that I wouldn't be here, I'd day-trade on that information (stock ticker $MBB, for example, it's an ETF, so it functions as a stock, you can short it, or buy puts, etc) and be a billionaire well prior to Q1 2025!

Some will do short term loans that allow us to buy, rehab then refi.

Congratulations on starting your first short-term rental in Joshua Tree!

I read this book in Sept and it seriously changed the game for me.
