Attending local meetups, analyzing deals regularly, and continuing education would position you for long-term growth.Good luck!

Nothing is truly "passive" and a big misconception with new folks wanting to enter the real estate arena.For example, just bought a 6 unit using leverage and trying to secure a loan was a disaster of a process.I can only imagine what others have to go through on every time they purchase a property using leverage.But then again, I'm bias to the "cash only" approach.The constantly changing conditions, terms, keeping tight bookkeeping records and tax returns in order and regularly manipulating the BS credit score algorithm.Placing good tenants is more a skill then hope.It took me 10+ years to fully wrap my head around using leverage the right way and being able to "manipulate" the system to get better rates with a quicker turn around.Keep being great thanks for your reading and replying to my comments 🙏

Homes that get more winter weather need a different level of upkeep, but nothing more than a regular home needs that is built for their specific area.

We work with investors regularly.

I enjoy the guaranteed rent and higher rents than most regular properties with a "normal" tenant.

S8 rent is much higher than the regular rent and helps cash flow a lot on numbers.

From there I’ll make regular calls to let them know which properties I have available.

Easier for you to monitor & manage you property while building your portfolio.

I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc. 

Qualify the contractor and highlight the benefits of working together which would include consistent work for them and regular paycheck.Personally, I'd buy the materials and never pay any money upfront, a "red flag" on its own.
