Just some pointers that I wish I would have truly embraced when I was 20!

I'm recruiting him to mentor with me and eventually go in with me on a deal or two.It is just going to suck for a while but I am going to have to 'embrace the suck' as they say in the service. 

In summer (due to tourism) AIR-BNB might bring you more money depending on the location.

Owner is doing financials themselves or has a low-end property manager that doesn’t embrace technology.

Need to verify specifics but was just told about this pocket listing & here's what I know so far:For Sale 200 acre development for only $250K; has 130 lots (~20 lots are already developed with houses); lot size is from 0.75-1.5 acres; in Phase I of development (roads for about 40 homes are graded & graveled with electrical buried), rest of land has not been touched; owner is currently selling individual  lots from $15K - $25K (generally more expensive lots have a well & septic, cheaper lots don't); manufactured or stick-built homes allowed; restrictive covenants attached (waiting for document).Location is in a rural area in the SW; local economy is based on transportation, agriculture, energy, retirement & tourism; 3 miles from a major interstate highway; on a major shortcut between 2 interstate highways; 10 mile radius population is ~ 20K; closest city with over 100K is only 1 hour away; cost of living & living expenses are definitely on the low end, great for retirees and the cheaper than average labor.Quick overview & simple math tells me that only selling 90% of the lots at the low end of $15K is just about $1.5 million.

For example, we have a SS unit facility for sale - a family "Mom and Pop" SS facility in TN, near TN/NC/GA border, in an unrestricted area outside city limits but near tons of tourism/retirement communities.

These businesses create new jobs, attract spending in our regional economy, increase property values...https://econsultsolutions.com/cheers-to-beers-brea...Travel & Tourism ImpactTourismPart of the economic benefit that craft breweries bring is craft-beer tourism.

I negotiate for agents who have embraced SS because that is where there is least competition and least overhead.

I know Asheville definitely relies on tourism and the service industry. 

It's market is extremely active and will remain so for a little while longer; the solidity is grounded in geographic location, climate, diverse employment base (ever expanding), higher education, no state sales tax, hospitality/tourism, music and entertainment, the list goes on and on.
