I’ve been reading extensively on strategies to minimize tenant vacancies through smart investments, and I’ve come to realize that many other factors play a crucial role when managing rental properties.

While I don't have years of experience to draw on for how the real estate market behaves around elections, I believe it's like most aspects of investing—unpredictable.

@Robert Lum  you bet you can troll around a site like BP read their books listen to the pod cast of those that are successful and talk about their business's.. its inspiring and motivational.but if you really want to learn the nuts and bolts you need to get in the game.the best and least expensive way to do that is to simply take a pre license course in your state.. learn the laws ( the real laws not the BS that is talk about on line).. terminology etc. then go to work with a brokerage in the aspect of Real estate that interest  you.. there you will get REAL training by those that are successful you get on a team.. you get paid as you learn.

the marketing must be different than a $400,000 home- What aspects of real estate do the multi million dollar buyer look for, As opposed to a couple hundred thousand dollar home? 

@Robert FrazierUnfortunately, you will find those consultants at every level and aspect of development.

I recently left my tech job to focus on different aspects of real estate investing including flipping, long term holds and real estate affiliate marketing.

Having a team in place is much more crucial than accessibility from overseas.

Location analysis is crucial, considering demographics, retail market performance, and traffic counts.

In contrast, private lenders focus more on the value of the asset, offering faster, more flexible loans for projects like fix-and-flips or rentals, which can be crucial in time-sensitive deals.It really boils down to your priorities and preferences.

Can anyone chime in on the billing/legality aspect?
