Lots of other people had bad experiences. 

AI is not some magical, all-knowing miracle that can pull leads out of thin air.AI is simply a faster, more hands-off way to find the same low-quality leads you get from DMM, cold calling, and SMS marketing.You’re not improving lead quality—you’re just finding bad leads faster.

Not true.I have section 8 rentals in bad areas and the churn is constant.  

Good or bad experience?

I’m considering it and looking for feedback. Thanks.

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

Banks, Credit Unions, direct lenders, portfolio..pretty much the full mix of of lenders any of us would use.They all said the same thing.

And to his credit, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell seems in no rush to cut rates with inflation above target level.

@Katie Camargo I would consider: HELOC or Cash-Out Refinance:Post-closing, the higher appraisal gives you the potential to tap into the equity via a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) or a cash-out refinance.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the Cape Coral/fort Meyers area, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.
