- Lastly I would also consider recommendations for a company who offers HELOCS (NOT cash out refi) for rental properties.

I was considering veterans as well. 

I'm considering investing in a long term rental or rental property for digital nomads either in Porto or Lisbon and would like to learn more from someone who is already invested in the market.

But as soon as you make a direct booking site and start an escrow account (among other things) you then cross that legal boundary between a co-host and a property manager needing a broker license (depending on your state).We CO-HOST for others and remain separated from those legal parameters that would consider us a property manager.

Should I continue mediation or pursue legal action (considering the time and costs involved)?

I would actually really like to see the owner/partner Marco Santarelli post here to clear any of this stuff up as I had considered investing with Norada at one point as well.

For cash flow-focused investments, consider neighborhoods on the west or south sides, like Speedway or Southport, but be mindful of local market trends and tenant quality.

Partnering with a wholesaler sounds fine, but check the real estate licensing laws in your state before bringing a buyer for a commission.You might consider getting your real estate agent's license and legitimately earn what your skills, drive, and experience truly command. exactly wholesaling or bird dogging is not a life time or long time occupation  RE sales can be lifetime and if your any good at it at about year 10 you should be getting all your sales from referrals and such.

I’m very big on having the proper customer support and making sure if I buy something I can contact their support to get more info/refunds etc.

Prioritize filling units with well-screened tenants and consider hiring a property manager for oversight.
