When you do this long enough, you get an idea of what a tester asks about or they start digging.  

But you should have a good idea of when that will come due and if you can finance it.

Am wanting to add a STR to my portfolio and thought having one near where I live was a better idea than investing out of state.

I’m curious to hear if people have done this in the past, how they did it, how they started, etc.Any thoughts / discussion / enlightenment on this is encouraged!

After 5 years in the business I’m starting to get a few word of mouth referrals which is how I closed my last property which was my first off market deal.

You have an STR listed on the Airbnb platform.Why not look at the design of highly sucessful STR'S in your area and copy some of the best ideas?

Is this a good or bad idea?

Going through my real estate journey I have learned a lot, I am 24, a veteran and a graduate from Temple University,I started with aspirations of investing on a property and making a quick flip.My problem lied with fear of failing, my capital and my savings.I decided I wanted to learn the real estate market and know the ins and outs before I would make a bold choice on buying my first real estate home.

Everyone's favorite answer in real estate---"it depends".That being said, you have to start somewhere to figure that out.

Keep in mind the start is slow, you won't see these great strides at the beginning.
