@Jay HinrichsPre-reo was owned by AHP servicing (plenty about them on here), this platform was homes that had yet to be foreclosed on (I think they were reverse mortgages) that they would sell and manage for investors.they would also finance it at 12%+ rates.

I ended up helping them out since it was turning into a big ordeal.

Saying that you are looking for a good investment property would not be helpful for an agent.

Use STR-specific insurance to protect both parties and automate operations with platforms like Airbnb, TurnoverBnB, and PriceLabs.Taxable income from the STR must be reported, but you can deduct related expenses like cleaning, utilities, and furnishings.

If you want a more accurate estimate for rent, use any platform and zoom into your local neighborhood and see what similar properties are advertised for rent.

We like the software, but the consulting service seems taking a bit too long... we would like to have someone to help us out with set ups, automation and a general marketing plan...

I am thankful for all of the advice I've received on this platform and grateful for this community.

Because the owners of Licensing Experts pay ALL CASH, the closing usually occurs 3-6 weeks, which is very fast compared to traditionally financed commercial deals I've seen on Bigger Pockets.The whole thing hinges on their very clever technique of getting existing commercial retail tenants engaged, willing to move into their newly acquired properties who are coming up for a lease renewal or lease expiration, rather than marketing for new commercial tenants - which would take way too long.Licensing Experts is somewhat of a "front" for their Mentorship Platform, as they evidently have many of their own separate entities for which they use to actually purchase and close on their commercial properties assigned by their mentees. 

I am investor myself, but I’m now diving deeper as an investor friendly real estate agent helping others build their portfolios.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.
