Please share your advice and experiences  Hi Richa,Is your existing property inside or outside of St.

Quote from @Burke Atkerson: With over a decade of real estate investing experience and over 100 flips, I now provide private money & hard money loans.

It’s exciting to see how doors open when you have someone who knows how to navigate the space.I just wanted to share this because it’s been such an eye-opening experience for me.

@Rosmery ThenMy partner and I are in the same situation, just he has 20 years of construction and development experience.

If you can get a single family home and have roommates, that's the most approachable strategy and will really allow you to know rather quickly if you hate managing rentals or not.Here's my experience starting at 22, and what I regretted from house hacking: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/922/topics/1133476-hous... 

My former experience has been with LTR and I'm currently focused on STR in E TN but interested in learning other useful strategies and expanding markets in later deals. 

It’s inexpensive to provide but can make a big impact.Comfortable Bedding: Investing in high-quality mattresses, pillows, and linens improves the guest experience and leads to better reviews, which can boost occupancy rates.Smart TV or Streaming Services: Offering Netflix, Hulu, or similar services is a low-cost way to enhance guest entertainment and stay competitive.Fully Stocked Kitchen: A well-equipped kitchen with basic appliances and utensils appeals to families and long-term guests, saving them money on dining out.Dedicated Workspace: If your property caters to remote workers, adding a small desk and ergonomic chair can set your listing apart.Outdoor Spaces: If your property allows, an outdoor seating area, fire pit, or hot tub can significantly increase your nightly rate and attract more bookings.Energy-Efficient Features: Guests appreciate eco-friendly options like LED lighting, smart thermostats, or solar panels, especially in eco-conscious markets.Keyless Entry: A smart lock is a relatively small investment but offers convenience and security, which many guests value.If you’re deciding on amenities to add, it’s always a good idea to research your local market.

I‘m also happy to travel to speak to groups or provide 1:1 coaching along your purchasing experience. 

You can't really predict for a creative business mind and how they might craft a guest experience that stands out in their market. 

None I could say with confidence without knowing more details on the borrowers experience, property type, city, and project numbers (PP, Rehab, ARV).
