I even had a wild hair to make an offer on the marina I was managing at the time.

Hi @Kyle Kobel and folks,I teach hosts how to use Pricelabs more effectively or I also a have full service offering that includes STR revenue management and listing optimization as well.

@Vernon Welch II most tenants offering to pay their rent upfront are trying to compensate for negative qualification issues.NEVER override your screening process just because someone offers to pay several months upfront!

Ultimately, I realized that trying to wait for a perfect moment feels a lot like attempting to time the stock market or predict a real estate bubble.There may be advantages to waiting and seeing how the election affects market policies, but it's hard to predict when those policies will take effect or how they’ll impact the market.

I do not want to jump on the single because of the time frame and then the right multi fam come up, but I also do not want to miss my opportunity and be forced to continue renting even if its month to month I'd also like to ask you all for any pointers, suggestions, tips & tricks you might offer someone just getting started and working to grow their portfolio.

When analyzing your offer, make sure to factor in operating expenses, rehab costs, and vacancy rates.

After a few months you will find out who is flipping and rehabbing and you can offer your sweat equity to help them and learn while you are there.

I would go to the big bus tour events in Irvine CA. what was happening was there was a turnkey operator that was allowed to offer their product at the end of the Seminar ..

We offer the following on investment properties.- HELOCs - Traditional 2nd Mortgages- DSCR 2nd MortgagesI've helped a ton of BiggerPocket investors already who have been disappointed by what else they've seen out there!

From there, it was suggested to ask what they would rent the property for so you already know upfront before an offer is made on the property.
