Kissimmee is still a strong STR market, especially with Disney nearby, but competition has increased.The smaller pool and backyard might be a concern for some guests, but the privacy from the freeway could be a nice bonus.

However, they didn't discuss how the student was able to raise another 40K (which I'm significantly concerned about lending 40K from a hard money lender and pay APR 20%).Second Day,They told us that they were giving out a bonus session for early comers.

I’m not exactly sure who would have been liable, etc if we accepted it as a bonus., but we immediately paid off the first lien. 

With a $35,000 renovation budget, we transformed the home, significantly enhancing its appeal and market value.

We are currently in the process of Renovating this home built in 1965 and plan to have completely transformed it by spring 2025.

And SF appreciates much better in my area which is a bonus too.

Appreciation is not a bonus or luck, it is literally the number one wealth-generating force in real estate.

Mark my words though the 2020-decade will be as transformational, transitional, and pivotal as the 1940s.Bottom line--appreciation is where the money is made, consider cash flow a defensive play and way end of the chain of the reasons to invest in physical RE.

I added value by doing cosmetic updates and transforming the curb-appeal.What was the outcome?

I can add about $1000 a month to my savings and whatever bonuses I receive to it as well.
