When you deliver a PREMIUM experience, especially one so curated for those persons what do you think they will do?

I tell people to start by picking a strategy (OOS long term, OOS short term rental, fix and flip, etc) THEN pick a market and submarket THEN look for good tools/people, doing it any other order tends to be an exercise in futility. 

There aren't many "short-term, get rich quick" type investment options in SoCal today. 

Bridge Loans are short-term (usually around 12 months) at a higher rate and fee to get a borrower from one point to another.

I also own some long-term rentals and a short-term rental.

Have we gotten to a point in this industry where a property is more attractive by short changing the true fundamentals and classifying the property an affordable housing opportunity? 

It'll be confusing in the short term, I think people assume it's inflationary.

Long story short, the simplest way to look at this is to add a 0.5% or 0.55% to your FHA rate and then compare that to a Conventional option (note rate + PMI rate) priced with 1.75 discount points.

Before getting started, I’d recommend focusing on three key areas:Strategy Selection – Understand the different investment strategies (BRRRR, short-term rentals, etc.) and determine which aligns best with your goals.Market Research – Study the market you want to invest in, including property values, rental demand, and economic trends.Laying the Foundation – Take proactive steps now that will set you up for success later.

I actually got introduced to BiggerPockets because I recently searched for REI audiobooks on Spotify that were free with my premium subscription and listen to How to Invest in Real Estate by Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner.
