Hello Everybody,I am currently a real estate agent in Boston, MA.

If they just represent first time single family home buyers and aren’t constantly finding off market properties and reviewing deals, you’ll find a better investment through someone else. https://www.kiavi.com/blog/out-of-state-real-estate-investin...https://learn.roofstock.com/blog/out-of-state-real-estate-in...

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

This would be my first real estate investment, making the decision even more critical.I understand that backing out would mean losing the $2,000 earnest deposit.

We found that two key factors significantly helped us succeed with our short-term rental (STR): using NightlyPricer instead of AirDNA and opting for Safely Insurance.NightlyPricer: Rather than relying on AirDNA, we chose Nightly Pricer, which provides more dynamic, real-time adjustments based on demand, local events, and market trends.

Quote from @Sophanara Khoeun: Quote from @Krystyna Schexnayder: For me personally, as a property manager and business owner, I truly believe this is not only about real estate, its a business of building relationships, and I think just being aligned with the basic principle that what we put out is what we get back, so I would be remissed not to oblige a new investors inquires. 

It is also helpful because we are Realtors and real estate investors and it provides a cushion for months that are leaner than others.

Best of luck in your real estate adventures.  

@Izraul Hidashi - Is this a real question or a riddle?  

I’m curious to hear from private real estate investors who’ve faced unexpected insurance claims and were protected by an umbrella insurance policy.We often see discussions whether investors should use an LLC or an umbrella insurance policy.
