Just like if you put all your eggs in the STR basket and it either doesn't go as planned, or you hate the management of it then you are stuck.

The fruitful market How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Imagine you're at a market trying to buy a piece of fruit.

Some Williams and Prescott opportunities are bearing fruit.

Known as “birddogs,” they drive around and note the addresses of properties that meet your criteria.An old school, yet fruitful, strategy to gauge an owner’s interest in selling is to simply knock on the door.

I also don't see how anyone could carry a laundry basket up/down them.I would try to replace them with normal stairs, but am guessing that is not possible or your contractor would have done that.

From what I have gathered is that they are slightly cheaper now and they work better but that feedback was mostly about Zillow.To give you some tea, I paid $4K to Zillow and it produced nothing fruitful and $2K to someone for FB ads with the same results.Am considering it both for my Realtor and my Investing business, because frankly I hate cold calling lol and that's what I am doing currently.

Now I get to sit back and enjoy the fruits of those labors and how sweet it is.

Putting all your eggs in one basket as your first investment is a recipe for disaster unless you get lucky!

I have talked to two financial planners over the past few months and both of them are more interested in having "diversification" in my accounts and say that I should not "put all of my eggs in one basket" with real estate alone.
