I have never done a Refi before, but I have learned through books, podcasts, etc that credit unions are the best place to build relationships for financing- which I completely agree.

Or are the GP's merely holding them on their books at said value and reporting that number to the LPs?

Most houses in the Poconos don’t even have Memorial Day weekend booked, which is typically a huge weekend and typically books up well in advance.

Books, podcasts, and online courses can be invaluable resources.

So I started researching books on investing and lo and behold if I didn’t find Rich Dad Poor Dad.

(I'm looking into following the million in net worth plan from the book)When buying a property for a low value ex: a duplex in Cisco TX for 95k and probably cheaper.

Rentals are obviously not as crazy as peak COVID times, however even in winter we're still having most weekends booked out with the odd midweek booking here and there. 

There's been so much interest in real estate investing and the success stories on podcasts and in books - most of which were achieved over the last decade - give people the real estate "bug" and they often over pay either because they don't know how to run the numbers or because they're just so anxious to get in.

Returns have been fantastic and I do believe it is a strong, up-and-coming market not many are talking about.One thing not many investors talk about with STRS is going the experiential route and leveraging social media to drive tons of bookings. 

I am in the process of taking on clients for co-hosting in addition to continuing to self-manage my own portfolio want to get a feel for what folks are charging their clients.I've spoken to a few folks already that manage between 15-30 and I've received feedback that they charge anywhere from 20-30%.For context, I've already decided to charge a percentage of Gross Booking Revenue excluding Cleaning Fee.
