Their rent will be about 1.5x normal rates.The unit will be furnished and all utilities will be in our name (power, water/sewer, internet).

At the end of the day if you run your numbers and analyze like 10 properties a day, and every single day scour the internet for anything new, you will eventually find something that works and know it almost immediately.

An example of one package we have is a Romantic Package - $199. 12 Balloons (buy the helium tanks and keep balloons on site for your team or use a local shop)Rose Petal Entry Way (bought off Amazon)2 Dozen Roses (local grocery store for $10-15 each dozen)Led Candle Display (bought off amazon and reusable)I Heart U Signs (amazon and reusable)Champagne (or wine if they want)This equals around $60-70 each time and we pay our cleaner $40 to set up.

I have my personal emergency fund stored away in a HYSA, and am working to build up a15k property reserve as well, but am conflicted on where to keep that 15k. 

I paid the first one and then said that’s more than enough to store all future documents.

Learning from agents commonly working with investors is your next opportunity to find a mentor.To be honest, I wouldn't try to find a mentor from random investors on the internet.

I have not been able to find any in person networking events in my area doing a basic internet search.

If people took the five minutes to complete it they would not need to be asking and searching the internet for their answers. 

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

True that. 99% of people will stay on the internet, analyzing deals and doing research but when the time comes to pull the trigger on a deal they'll do absolutely nothing.
