@Sureen HariTX has high property taxes and CA has tenant friendly laws.

Hi Kris,The NAR settlement finalized on August 17, 2024, introduced important changes to how real estate commissions are handled.

When I used to do this, my money friend provided all the money, I provided everything else, everything.

Mind you the land lording laws are not as friendly in NY state but I think you'll have a better shot at finding what you are looking for in NY. 

Private money lending typically comes from individual investors or friends and family, often based on personal relationships and trust, and can have more flexible terms.

A friend of mine scored her dream home last month. 

ChatGpt and Google is your best friend and use credible sources. 

They should be able to connect and introduce you to the contacts you need to be successful and confident in your investments. 

Definitely, you will introduce a different demographic from vrbo then you will with airbnb. 

Due to my background in consumer lending, I am highly skeptical of paystubs and other address verification due to the widely available websites that are out there to generate forms relatively easily... so I like to verify the information by contacting the listed employer using their listed number on Google to avoid possibly calling a friend etc.
