The original cost is erased per se.

Might be worth reviewing to hopefully learn from my errors https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2015-02-04-confessions-se...

I'm interested in getting into the SE Minnesota market. have family there and would like to move back to the area. i know an in person meet up may not be possible, but i would like to talk deals. 

Try to figure out what will work best LONG term for you...and do a bunch of that, so it's scalable.I've continually created more headaches here in Chicago by doing STR, MTR, LTR, wholesaling flipping, etc....not I'm laser-focused on our renovation business but have enough expertise across the board to share what didn't work for me lolI am no longer investing, but I love Garfield Park and anything SE towards the lake. 

thanks,Pat I'm a bit late to the party here so my apologies.Had a great call with @Drew Sygit about a similar topic.Wealth of knowledge from Drew and if you are still looking at starting a PM business, highly recommend you connect with him if he is available 😁100% agreed with @Nathan GesnerWe started PM in Toledo as a subsidiary to our turnkey outfit.Took us 5+ years to figure S#@% out lolSo definitely start "1 by 1" unit per se and grow organically.We are at a point just now where we are looking to scale via M&A.And that is only because I feel that we have reached our peak when it comes to generating organic leads.We get regular lead form opt ins and calls to our office.Literarily "monopolized" Google with SEO and our good reviews so there isn't much else to do IMO.Only issue I see is we aren't looking at expanding out of city and will stick with Toledo for now.Which will limit us in terms of expansion.Much success and all the bet with your business

Jeff, I don't have any industry experience, but can give you consumer feedback.I live in SE WI and many national carwash companies have come into the market and built some very high end facilities. 

In my case, a crappy little $500.00 claim means it's simply not economical (unless the filling body has a s-e-r-i-o-u-s grudge and money to burn) to pursue.

Then see if anyone will mentor you (a GREAT mentor will want value exchange... buying them coffee may not do it)Where to invest;I can only speak to what I know but the Rhode Island, SE/NE Connecticut, and some Southern MA markets are all pretty hot.

How do you se the "rented" rooms?

“Getting into real estate” per se is not your goal.
