However, I'm now reading Dave Meyer's book Start With Strategy to learn more about whether long-term residential rentals is even the best approach or if I should be looking into other strategies, in light of my overall goal.After Start With Strategy I plan to read Set For Life by Scott Trench, but what other recommendations do you guys have at the strategic level?

Though we haven’t closed our first deal yet, we’re ready to jump and pull the rip cord as soon as our coach gives the green light!

I couldn't find any threads on BP that mention him in a negative light, is he another charlatan?

I gutted it and added new drywall, new light fixtures, new bathrooms, new paint, new kitchen, new furniture and new flooring and new windows.

Create a weighted criteria chart, visit top markets, engage with local experts, and use resources for market analysis.

While there are some rather light legal and tax aspects, buying or selling a note is not rocket science.The hard part is selecting the right note and obtaining the right or an acceptable price.

Also AirBNB stocking fees, maintenance, cap ex.But at the same token know that the principal portion of your mortgage payment is actually not a true expense so there is that benefit to doing all of this even if you are light on the cash flow or break even.  

I’m considering purchasing five units in an eight-unit light industrial property structured as a condominium.

I dont believe there is any kind of HOA or ruling organization for these group of houses but it has me concerned that if one day they all decide they want to repave the driveway or add lighting or something along those lines, they would try and make everyone chip in and pay their fair share. 

Could you put some more light on where the liability would come from e.g. for the notes on non-owner occupied properties, managed by property companies.
