There could be some kind of buyout after five years or something like that, but if I was able to get a large chunk of my money out of the deal I would have no reason to sell it as it would simply be another cash flowing, appreciating property at which I could also vacation.

I found similar patterns between all 5 companies: namely, they had taken on too many units, were over-charging me for things I didn't need, and weren't handling issues correctly (they would send out vendors who didn't know what they were doing, mis-diagnose issues etc.)No disrespect to the PMs on this chain or BP in general, but any third-party manager won't perform exactly the way you would like them to simply because of the constraints they are faced with as far as having so many units and owners to keep tabs on. 

Managing properties locally is simply more efficient as I get started.I’d definitely be up for discussing this further and exploring potential synergies.

Time allows for adjustments, scaling, and reinvestment in ways that short-term projects simply can’t achieve. 

We had to schedule another hearing, but when the tenants failed to attend, the court simply scheduled another opportunity for them.

AS Much as anything most folks in RE in that area simply rely  totally on them ..

If the claim can be disputed, OTA disputes it and makes it hard to collect and the host may simply give up.i think pm, airBnB, guest and LL all know who was responsible for the vape in the toilet, but ota did not charge guest or pay for it and gave the guest a discount (a discount for an issue that the guest was responsible for).  

I'm not converting my properties I am simply dabbling in the S8 realm of things.

While I’m more financially stable, that hasn’t translated into feeling more secure—I simply take bigger risks now.That said, I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve accomplished.

I just read an article recently that noted "Avg Profits For Flipped Homes" of $80,000, however when you dig into the article and their sources, "Profit" is simply Sale Price - Purchase Price...so it doesn't consider renovation costs, holding costs, financing costs, etc.
