I really enjoyed your BP episode Felipe, really got me pumped!

It won't stay that way forever, so enjoy it while it lasts

There is a lot to choose from out there so I am hoping to see what others have enjoy the most.

Particularly enjoyed the second one - it may have left me with more questions than answers, but I think I get more of the gist of it.

Gives you the highest chance of winning the offer with the seller and avoid all cash.If you have any specific questions feel free to reach out or email me I enjoy helping and talking REI.Thank you for this!!!

I definitely enjoyed this thread, which is odd since I don’t have a short term rental, but I guess a good argument can keep a reader in suspense.

I'm particularly passionate about PA, NC and OH.Outside of real estate, I enjoy trying new restaurants.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

My take on this discussion is this:Anyone can take whatever time and effort they want to argue that it doesn't / can't work (it does / can), or you can just do it and enjoy the benefits.It's not applicable to every situation - stop trying to force this square peg into a round hole.There's no "secrets", no "magic" to it.It's meant for situations where the way it works can help someone achieve their financial goals. 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy working out at the gym, woodworking and building furniture, playing tennis and doing any and every DIY project.
