Just remember that real estate investing is a long game and can take time to produce fruit. 

Figuring out the best areas to invest can be a game-changer.

Thank you Nick - unfortunately it is the name of the game in this space that there will be people with bad experiences, typically when the appraised value doesn't come in as what they expect and they lash out at the lender accordingly (anyone in this space obviously understands this occurrence). 

Play the long game and hold onto that equity. 

When it comes to the STR game, differentiation is critical, and that can be challenging with a 550 square foot oceanfront condo. 

I’m pretty sure if your eyes go straight to an air vent, that is bad design 😂😂😂😂 I knew the game room needed a refresh but if that was the focal point I guess it was worse than I thought lol

So it's a waiting game for that property until you have enough to do a cash out refi.

Chris Clothier provided regular video updates, and the property management team sent frequent emails with property-specific details, tenant situations, and proactive solutions.

Now I am getting in the game myself.

Connecting with other investors was a game-changer for me when I started.
