Personally I wouldn't buy any property occupied, I'm interested in the asset itself and will decide how I operate said asset.

I primarily invest in syndications with my non-qualified accounts so I can take full advantage of the tax benefits.I think the work involved for both is similar - you need to vet the operator, analyze the deal and then wire the money.  

So, they are at the mercy of the professional to operate with integrity and honesty.

If anyone currently MTRs in this area, I am curious on how you got started, how you run your operations, and how you furnished your property(own/rent) and what the cost breakdown might be for me to do the same!

I managed three teams consisting of 3-4 employees each and led all their projects simultaneously, while overseeing accounting, marketing, and financial operations.

That's half of the states that aren't included in the criminal search (including mine).

@Andy OkamotoOne cautionary note: if your idea of "cash flow" is $10K in net operating income, $120K before taxes in your pocket every year off your rental property, well, if it happens to you in 10 years, it will be a low-probability event with a lot of lucky breaks and eventually will likely ruin your life when you make a misstep because you assumed your lucky break was the norm.If you're serious about moving out here, at least look at the Pittsburgh area and its proximity to Carnegie Mellon (tech) and UPMC (health care).

We operate on fairness, and we feel that it is fair to retain the commission percentage of the late fee.

And please note, you'll also have to pay GET, TAT, OTAT taxes if operating a vacation rental.  

That’s not your style or mine, but a lot of people seem to be in that group.
