I truly feel bad for people who have to work instead of investing in real estate, especially those with kids.

I’ve had many clients do a traditional 1031 and then they feel like they have a gun to their head with the shot clock.  

I feel like I’m missing the bigger picture of what makes a property a great investment opportunity.If anyone could share some pointers or insights on how to identify a “good deal,” I’d really appreciate it!

Responding quickly, like you do, definitely makes guests feel valued and reassured.I think the choice between automation and personal interaction depends a lot on the host's availability and scale.

I tend to agree, in this uncertain investing environment it makes sense, it just feels weird to have that much cash not working for me. 

Finding great off-market deals can feel like a needle-in-a-haystack challenge.

With countless loan options, complex terms, and strict lending criteria, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

From updated tenant rights laws to shifting zoning regulations, staying compliant can feel like a moving target.

I've heard that Butchertown, Highlands, and Old Louisville are hotter areas and am guessing that proximity to Churchill Downs and downtown are usually a plus (especially for STRs).I'm casting a wide net here in just doing some preliminary research to get a feel for different areas of town, but would love to get connected with some others who have had some experience doing some of these things and have a good lay of the land and are connected with reputable contractors. 

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.
