So, here are my thoughts on WREIN: Positives: great networking with various REI women, access to women that are PMLs, some good training material (but mostly geared to Texas REI), motivational discussions, 4 months of working with their coaches online (who are very helpful and knowledgable)Cons: *high cost to participate (even when it was just $9700); when you take the $17 Masterclass, during the Masterclass, *they don't really give you a good understanding of how much money it takes to get started; you will need to spend a considerable amount on marketing if you opt to do wholesaling or look for properties off the MLS to flip (be sure to do your research in advance), *they cannot give you specifics for your state and give you tons of disclaimers, so be aware that you will need to do additional research on your own.

Make sure to research local rates for cohosting and management services to stay competitive.If you're doing this as a side gig or part-time job, it’s essential to time block, create systems, set expectations with property owners, and establish boundaries to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved.We opted not to pursue rental arbitrage for two key reasons: dealing with landlords and the significant upfront costs to set up and run a profitable STR without the benefit of property ownership.

The current version of the ATCP you are violating is ATCP 134.08(4), which prohibits the same exact thing as 704.44(4m) prohibits…the kicker being that the ATCP (the consumer protection act) comes with the added penalty of you being charged double damages and actual attorney fees because the act itself is promogulated under Wis.
