I'm a retired engineer and have been successfully using income from these houses to support my retirement without dipping into retirement savings.I'm transitioning my business from rentals to a franchise and would consider selling one of my houses (5 br/4 ba - the other houses my son while he's still attending).

I have recently been made aware that I get straight to business without really concerning myself for the sellers side of the story and when you have the sellers problems, goals, etc.

If you drop business and work you can bounce back.  

Heck even culinarily the restaurants that are popping up are impressive (which I take as a great sign of the people and businesses that it's attracting). 

Hard part with business is separating your emotions from it.

Courtesy of the video, criteria to consider include Deal Type, Management Plan, Business Plan, Financing, Asset Class, Ownership Structure, Property Class, Location, Purchase Price, Rehab Costs, Risk Target, and ROE Targets.

I use this property and another one as my business line of credit. 

Hey @Krissi Miramontes Small world, I have a former client in Fair Oaks, or at least her business is there.

Hi Davis,I live in NC but invest primarily in Greenville SC / upstate with my business partners. 

The nice thing about the arbitrage business model, is the companies usually pay you a monthly rent, and then they handle all of the AirBNB stuff.
