I recommend not spending ones time trying to change people.There are lots of real estate strategies that do not involve living with the residents...not my cup of tea either.  

it is indeed a great site with tons of good info.We are a full real estate investment operation, we buy and sale, we own rentals and we also do private lending.Our offices are located in downtown Upland, right in target area of the western inland empire.Let me know when you are planning to visit the Inland Empire and we can have a bite or cup of coffee.Cheers!

@Daniel Denon I just bought a Duplex for myself in June and helped a BP get a duplex under contract this week, we can grab a cup of coffee and talk about your plan. 

Let me know if you want to get together over a cup of coffee and discuss your goals. 

And if someone is not your cup of tea, they check out soon enough.Make sure you find out what your city's ordinances are regarding STR.Will they have their own entrance? 

Faster, safer without random 'professionals' leaving my house unsecured with lights on and a/c up full blast.

Also - specifically in NKy there is a great pool of Spanish contractors who do amazing work but they are sometimes hard to get in touch with.

Over a cup of Peets Coffee today, my partner and I went over some rehab, repair and rent numbers.

I’d love to pick your brain about your investing experience over a cup of coffee and am very willing to offer some handyman work on any properties you have.

If you offer to buy them a cup of coffee, you can probably get an hour of their time.
