Quote from @Emily Gowen: I only recommend investors sell when they can move the money to a better-performing investment or when the sale moves them closer to a specific goal.

Other ways of using SDIRAs could be to invest in syndications, performing  or non-performing debt, precious metals, raw land, precious metals, mobile home parks, self-storage facilities and more. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Hi everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on improving the performance of our short-term rental, and I’d really appreciate your insights.

I'd stay away from Del Toro for non performing notes, especially.

Past performance is no indication of future results.

Its when all of the work is performed and you are literally prone to lose everything. 

As I'm new to this domain, I would to hire a consultant to perform some zoning and other due diligence activities.

If you are interested I could get you detailed information on where STR's perform best within the country.

Then again this would also mean that I'd need to build a small team, and I'd need everyone to perform whereas they're bringing it all in one.Another big thing here is the risk - as I said above I have a fairly pessimistic view about the economy in the next couple of years..
