I've seen this for many years, my favorite maker of sports sandal was bought by Teva and they stopped making that type of sandal after some brief lip service. 

Rental Property Investor from Jacksonville, FLPREVIOUS POSTWhy I sold Cleveland.If you're a real estate podcast junkie like me, you definitely have noticed the clear shift towards real estate syndication in the multi-family space over the last couple of years especially.As deals became harder to find in single family and smaller multis across much of the desirable markets,the allure of pooling investor funds to acquire larger assets became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.Books that were mostly hurriedly written flooded the market pimping the upsides of this strategy.The argument for was simple and convincing:it is better to own 1% of a large deal than 0% of no deal.Personally,I could not help but notice that the popularity of the idea coincided with the rise of real estate crowdfunding.The likes of Realty Shares and Realty Mogul raised a bajillion dollars practically overnight making it very easy for everyday real estate aficionados to own small bites of a mega deal in rural Tennessee at the click of a mouse.A few of my friends experimented with the crowd-funding route, tossing $5000 into this debt offer and $10,000 into that equity offering.These punts yielded mixed results anecdotally, as an equal number seemed to have great experiences to share as did absolute nightmares.To be fair, no real estate niche is 100% fail-safe or iron clad.Money has been lost in a large single family portfolio as well as a personally purchased medium sized apartment complex.It is also certainly true that in the end, every investor will run out of money to invest in more properties if they decide to go it alone trying to rapidly scale up their portfolio, and real estate is most assuredly a team sport at all levels.

Golf, softball, and other sports competitions are held there regularly. 

Try to get a house with schools people want their kids in either because they are good academically or have great sports programs.

Our market is not a vacation market but a regional hub in an otherwise rural area so we get a lot of families visiting family, sports teams for tournaments, etc. that are a good market for return customers and a focused marketing campaign.I was wondering with StayFi a few logistical questions I haven't been able to find answers to elsewhere:  1.

Not a bad number to sport considering some of the reputation that Fayetteville has. 

I don't know much about sports.

Pittsburgh is a nice city but doesn't has as much going for it as STR locations like the beaches and mountain areas so curious if your STR attracts wedding, job relocations, and/or sports events.Thanks again!

Think of it like starting a new sport. 

Real estate is for the most part a contact sport....live..on the phone or in person....so learning in person should be part of your training.If you haven't started your licensing training, KW has a new program where you can potentially get your prelicensing training online for free if you plan to join KW after you get your license.
