Most sellers will laugh when you ask them to reduce the price by 3% because you're not using a buyer's agent.....You can buy and sell your own  properties without a license anyway...  

Generally I would recommend using a contract that comes recommended by a friend or fellow real estate investor.

I am interested in using a hard money lender to buy a property to flip.

Are you doing it by yourself or using a third party?

If you are investing using a self-directed IRA or 401k, continue with your investment strategy, but keep this strategy in mind, and it will help you supercharge your Roth! 

For us that more or less translates to using a tenant facing CRM platform.

Your idea of using a second home mortgage for house hacking is both creative and practical, especially given your flexibility.

But I actually like using screws for the first (or maybe first 2) holes, because sometimes when using a hammer like we used to, the hanger can move a little and then you have issues.

Which means I will still need to finance about $400k for each property at about 9% rate (the rate is high because we'll using a commercial loan as we'll be purchasing the properties under an LLC).

I’m in the process of converting one of the units into a short-term rental and could use some advice.I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth using a dynamic pricing tool to maximize revenue and whether I should invest in property management software to help manage bookings, communication, and other tasks.Any recommendations or insights from your experience would be greatly appreciated.
