It sounds like REsimpli has a lot of value and combines a lot of features so I don’t need to pay for subscriptions to 10 different platforms (and invest a ton of time learning their systems only to discover a better option and start the process over again).

Just about every time I have been privy to the details of a transaction where one of the parties is unrepresented and the other is, the unrepresented party gets the short end of the stick.

In my mind sub to is for short term .. long term rentals is very problematic for many reasons. 

Originally, the entire price of the academy would be refunded if you invested with RTR, but from what I can tell that has now dropped from 100% to only 90% refund (not sure why they dropped it so shortly after launching).

I totally recognize that is impatient and greedy.My gut is saying your short picture idea is where we're heading since we are taking the same hit with brokerage account (I didnt even mention borrowing against 401k - yes its not advised but my wife and I have stable W2 income to pay ourselves back) Thanks again, this BP community / forum is awesome

Durham on the other hand is a great opportunity for investors seeking more short-term growth, more options, and higher likelihood of cashflow. 

The one that's short term and don't cost me a lot to initiate/originate.

Needless to say we were pretty disappointed, so shortly after that another student reached out to us and told us that Ryan and Tyler had agreed to sponsor them 4 different times and backed out of each one causing the students to lose earnest money.

Personally, it’s something I always expect from a short-term rental, and it can have a huge impact on your reviews.To make things easier for both you and your guests, consider smart tools like locks, outdoor cameras, and smart thermostats.

@Stephen FlemingFrom my experience working with over 400 investors, your strategy of leveraging a low mortgage rate, tapping into home equity, and diversifying with a short-term rental (STR) in Northern Michigan is well thought out.
