Maybe due to your inexperience you are over estimating (not a bad thing to be conservative) and more experienced investors are beating you because they know their numbers better and know what they can squeeze out of a property.

What you can't make up for in experience make up for in motivation and dedication.

In my opinion you should not let your inexperience deter you from using lenders.

Of course purchasing also comes with the long-term wealth building aspects of loan pay-down, (hopefully) appreciation, and depreciation can make it a favorable deal if any inexperience in STR leads to numbers lower than expected.

Im all over the place again due to my inexperience.

Because of my inexperience, I’m also evaluating turnkey properties as an easier way to get started.

I have all of the experience I feel needed to get the job done with “clunkers” I guess my inexperience in having a property is taking away from the advice I actually need.

My gut is saying its fine but my inexperience is saying ask bigger pockets.

Hi, I am looking for an internship this summer in property management in the Des Moines, IA or surrounding area to gain hands in experience.

There are a bunch of decision that you will need to be making that have huge effects on the profitability of the venture. 50% of some profit is better than 100% of a loss because of inexperience.
