I have taken many walks by the Falls in the winter and there are very few people around. 

I've had people tell me not to worry about it and to just do it, and I've had other people say the bank will call the loan due.

They sell you a package to enter and then find you people to stay and never paid you back!

I think the biggest roadblock has been the lack of true testimonials of successful people in these programs.  

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.

First month free only attracts people who move every 12 months.

And, I think its fair to say that we all may forget what people say or the information they provide, but we all never forget how someone treated us and made us feel! 

Those are all people that work for the company.

These are just deals I have invested in with other people. 

Joining investor meetups in your area can also help you build relationships with experienced investors who may offer mentorship or even potential partnerships.Finally, don’t underestimate the power of letting people know your plans.
