It took us a couple of weeks but we slowly increased their rankings unit they were on page 1 (based on search parameters of course) and they got a 10 day booking soon thereafter.We use Price Labs to check out the date of the last booking.

@Joseph Beilke we are getting married in Jaco, Costa Rica in a month and thought the same.

hey @Keith Mintz A couple investors on the forum that come to mind (among many others) are Noah Laker and Michael King.

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

A couple problems dividing a property and selling in a “Timely” manner and then picking exchange properties of equal or greater value than the lots you sale.  

I have a couple of people that this has happened to, and you need to have it in writing and tied to the property to make it work. 

There is extensive damage to the house and I am working with my insurance company and have talked to couple of fire restoration companies.

Thanks to COVID, for a couple of years, you can actually make enough money to be cash flow positive even if you hire a property manager AND have mortgage payments. 

I've tried a couple - truepeoplesearch, white-ages, property radar, leadsherpa, batch leads...Some services are better than others, but it is a numbers game and you also can cross check between different platforms.

I’ve seen this being done in only a couple of places over the years.
