I am in no way getting discouraged I just want to make sure I am going about things the right way for my market segment and creating an effective strategy to be successful.

People here are from every segment of society and it reflects that.

I really believe that large responsibility for how unknowledgeable so large a segment of the population is concerning economics and business is a failure of our educational system.   

My question : what segment would you target on a 3500 budget as a starter?

When does that segment of the population become enough to crash the never ending growth?

While the future may not mirror the past, it is the best indicator we have.We target a narrow tenant pool segment, and the following only applies to properties our target segment is willing and able to rent.Between 2013 and 2021, prices increased by over 15% per year, and rent increased by over 8% per year. 2022 was a difficult year for everyone.

Their model works under certain conditions:  Homogenous market, certain segment of the market, appreciating market. 

I attended the STR Wealth Conference earlier this week, and one of the main segments was a presentation from Jeff Hampton who owns "STR Law Guys LLC" in which he presented the best ways as an STR owner for you to protect your assets.
