You’re piecing together a bigger puzzle here, and every connection and conversation helps you fill in those gaps.

@Albert Hepp the flawed logic your using to state there must be some conspiratorial aspect to commissions because commissions are all but uniformed over 2%.....We can apply that exact flawed logic to Apples at grocery stores and say since apples, at every grocery store are uniformed at a price over $0.10 a piece, it "must be a conspiracy"........Take off the tinfoil hat. 

Very good   we sold 3 flips last month and working on 2 right nowWe bought a bunch to hold as well1 piece of advise - don’t buy on market I am buying w issues   I solve whatever issue and make a lot of equity or moneyStill hosting 2 nd weds of the month which was last week  and tonight I’m the guest speaker at the Reia You have my info  if I can bring you value let me know 

your QI should be telling you to hustle right now.The 9% rate isn't the only piece of the pie. 

I think one critical piece is being overlooked.  

Additionally, I can take the plot and subdivide into 5 or 6 different lots, with each lot worth 25k a piece.

I just looked at one piece of TX land. 

Rents/Divs go up with inflation, and capital appreciation occurs at an unpredictable rate.Yes, you’re giving up returns compared to direct RE ownership, but you’re gaining piece of mind.You could try note investing too.

At a high level it will all come down to the specific piece of land you are looking at.  

Although the cleaner is probably the most important piece to the puzzle for your STR success, there is alot more involved with managing it.
