Hi JP,I am have been invested in STR's in Scottsdale for 4 years running now and it has been quite fruitful though the population of STR's has exploded.  

imo it's exploding in some areas. 

I ended up with a property that almost doubled in value between 2010 and late 2014, but the rents only increased from $700 to $850 during the same timeframe.So, my equity exploded, but my cashflow hardly budged.  

(Doubling my income now is much harder at the higher incomes)4) Picked up a side job (real estate agent used to be my part time job)5) As my debt shrank, learned to invest in stocks and save.6) Savings exploded once my debt was gone7) Kept living frugally and funneling all my new savings (and my earnings continued to grow too) into investing 8) Then finally started investing in real estate.9) When I built my rental portfolio enough, then became a full time investor and agent.

If I was your wife, I'd be hearing you accentuate the positive all day long and warning bells would be exploding in my head.Just for starters, let's get clear about third-party Section 8 multifamily property management -- the guys who do it are in it to bleed you as much as possible.

I’ve never looked at marketing as trying to make the phone ring/ inbox explode.

I think this will explode at the small claims court for landlord to reep their losses when a tenant leaves.

For pros, he challenges conventional wisdom and explodes sacred cows by exposing hidden conflicts of interests and mis-alignments that many in the industry won’t admit to.

I have been amazed at how the rental we own in Round Rock barely appreciated for 8 years or so while we actually lived in it, and then suddenly exploded the last few.

But is the area also starting to explode in development?
