Play the long game and hold onto that equity. 

Figuring out the best areas to invest can be a game-changer.

Connecting with other investors was a game-changer for me when I started.

When it comes to the STR game, differentiation is critical, and that can be challenging with a 550 square foot oceanfront condo. 

Thank you Nick - unfortunately it is the name of the game in this space that there will be people with bad experiences, typically when the appraised value doesn't come in as what they expect and they lash out at the lender accordingly (anyone in this space obviously understands this occurrence). 

I’m pretty sure if your eyes go straight to an air vent, that is bad design 😂😂😂😂 I knew the game room needed a refresh but if that was the focal point I guess it was worse than I thought lol

The rental demand in the area has been consistent, and duplexes offer the flexibility of house hacking or scaling into multi-family investing over time.With your experience in construction and remodeling, you’re already ahead of the game—fix-and-flips or BRRRR projects in Kansas City could be a perfect fit for you.
