It took 5 years to know it had worked and 7 or 8 to pull the trigger.

Worse yet, the feeling you get when you locked in a deal, only to see a better deal written on the ledger an hour later by an agent that had been holding it back in order for you to lock in your deal because it was difficult to get that one off their books.That was how it was.

Rent-by-the-room, STR or MTR a basement that can be locked off, buy a duplex and rent the other side.

Have you had any success in just providing a lock box code?

We definitely are going to pull the trigger this year and do it, time to learn while on the job per se.

We did not pull the trigger on any deals until we had boots-on-the-ground people, some of whom invested with us.

Rather than lock in a year lease I tried my hand at short term rentals considering the house was located near the beach in a tourist town, it just made sense.

Would it be wise to set up a new business with he and I as registered agents and lock up deals under this entity?

Many homeowners seem to be converting their once primary residences into Airbnb rentals rather than selling, benefiting from their low-cost basis and the low mortgage rates they locked in.This pattern could persist, possibly diminishing the profitability of STRs for quite a few.

With low mortgage and refinance ,it's like a lock for homeowner *not* to sell.This may change if there're massive layoffs in the public sector, but if unemployment goes up and inflation is up then most likely Fed will restart QE again.
