And yes makes sense about how we look at our money.

Makes sense, I guess I must do a 6 month rental to build seasoning, then get the DSCR loan in place and sell on a land contract right?

If any of it doesn't make sense let me know. 

Hi BP'rs, I don't have a good sense of how the interest rate cut today will affect me as a new investor looking for my first deal... will it start to drive up prices of homes in areas i'm looking at as money gets cheaper or am I off base?

It's not the most expensive market, but it's also not the one that makes the most sense for my goals and desired investment.

The BRRRRR is not dead and value add investing will always make sense when one looks at alternatives.Agree, thanks for adding clarity to my post.  

I live in dc area and could do it especially at inauguration etc but for us it’s not worth it in the sense of our house is our house - not someone else’s.

It’s a balancing act for them, and time will tell if this shift adds genuine value for hosts or just distracts from core issues that need fixing.What would make the most sense is if Airbnb uses Experiences to enhance the guest journey while still keeping the focus on the quality of the core stay.

I've never had a listing anywhere near this price range but I would begin to research the kind of people my buyer's would be, what kind of jobs they would have, where I could meet and find them.Secondly, I would get professional photography of the property and expose the home on social media and pay for ads on instagram, facebook and anywhere else it would make sense to.

Thus, I decided that out-of-state investing would make the most sense.
