And buildium is actually the platform I’ve been looking at, seems good for beginners.

But following @Kim Meredith Hampton’s advice, do not countersign the lease until you actually close. 

I did a recent flip with much warmer colors, actually used SW Creamy on the walls, and the house sold in 5 days. 

From my understanding, as long as you intend on doing a STR when you close, there are no rules against changing your strategy after closing, especially if you find that something else is more profitable.So in our case, the lender determined an STR would bring in ~$3500/month (with all of their conservative factors), but now that we operate it as a huge 3300 sqft Co-Living property, it actually brings in $7000/month.

Though it may cash flow well based on their current debt service, when you compare the income it produces to the equity they have is it actually even a good investment for them from an ROI perspective or would they be better off liquidating and redeploying?

Well you'd actually be netting more in the long run by doing so compared to putting it towards the home. 

I haven't seen any info on people earning any money on the actual affiliate/commission side of Minoan.

Some parcels are actually worth as much or more after the credits are clipped as before. 

Memphis can actually be a great choice for real estate investing, especially for someone with your situation.First off, property prices in Memphis are much more affordable compared to markets like CA, so with $50k, you can actually make a bigger impact.

thanks. you will spend more time trying to figure out whether or not its required than actually completing the form. it takes five minutes.
