I have an idea of an initial investment and returns I would like to hit, but would love to speak with those of actual experience to see if my numbers are realistic.

I would like to find a mentor/agent who has experience with Foreclosures (HUD) who would be willing to answer questions and work together in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.I'm on a new journey in life and finally taking steps in the Investor direction... something I should have done a long time ago.

These platforms are run by techies with no investing experience.  

Has anyone had good experience with Furnished Finder in your market or if in Houston even better?

In our view, experience and integrity are by far the most important parts of any private loan.

Hi does anyone have experience with providing direct STR stays (so not through Airbnb or VRBO) and charging, collecting, and remitting the local Chicago hotel tax?

New agents can often compensate for lack of experience with enthusiasm, professionalism, hard work, or even their good looks.

Yep both enjoying the investment both short term and as a Longterm investment.  

I'd be interested to hear others that have specific experience with them. 

Managing a rental property can be challenging, especially if it’s your first experience.
