That is just what I am seeing personally, and I work with investors all over the country. 

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Albert Hepp: I've seen huge growth in listings not offering a commission, but expecting a commission, and instructing the buyer agent to include the buyer agent commission with the offer.This is the first step towards buyers evaluating what an appropriate amount for their buyer agent to earn, which is a very good thing for buyers. here in Portlandia the listing agents are NOT Allowed to offer a commish..

Figure out which best fits you and your personality and take it from there.  

I’m not a “people person” so they handle screening.

Don't talk yourself into a place because of personal use.Buying a $475k condo that brings in 35k in gross rental income will lose a lot of money.

So now I have both my personal residence and a leased property as STRs.Even though I live 3 hours away from my leased STR property, I've built a team that assists with managing it, so I don't have to be there all the time.Here are some key things I've learned:Regulations: Research the specific STR regulations in the state and city where you're looking to buy.

For instance, said property manager manages maintenance issues, problems that arise during bookings, basically anything that needs a physical person at the property, while I manage the rest?

They prioritize personal development.

For mobile homes, it often depends on whether the property is considered real estate (attached to land) or personal property (if it’s not).

Fewer still actually show-up to deliver the value in-person.
