Just curious what people have ran across to build these days?

I think once you have 10 or more, it's probably smart to have your own people. 

I really trusted my agent and knew several people who had invested in Reno so I took the leap after trying and failing for years to buy my own home in really high cost cities where I lived (NYC, DC, SF Bay area). 

Also, people who are motivated to sell quickly may find there are buyers who want to buy quickly, and at a discount.  

I would love to hear people's more recent thoughts as well.

I have seen some people well respected in the industry recommend her on several different real estate groups on Facebook.

People weren't renting properties as quickly, and there was an increase in vacancy.

Well, this my opinion, if you like unpredictability, constant change and people/contractors with no regards to you or your property then "YES" flips and STRs are the way to go...LOL....I love it!!! 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
