Hi does anyone have experience with providing direct STR stays (so not through Airbnb or VRBO) and charging, collecting, and remitting the local Chicago hotel tax?

Any person ever worked with Paul Argueta (Dispodragons) or Alex Martinez (Real Estate Skills) as a mentor/coach, what has your experience been like?

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

So, it's still NOT a good idea to try to invest by zip codes - which are too big in our opinion/experience.

Not sure if they have upgraded to desktop appraisals but if they are still doing in person appraisals , make sure you get everything (scope of work, good faith deposit, social, LLC docs, insurance, proof of prior experience, financial statements) in ASAP.

., the 2006 or 2009 IECC — International Energy Conservation Code).Cost Considerations for a 90-unit or 112-unit Project:The actual cost of qualifying for the 45L tax credit depends on various factors, including:Energy Efficiency Compliance: The primary cost will come from ensuring that each unit meets the required energy efficiency standards, which typically involve energy modeling, certification from third-party energy raters, and potentially upgrading insulation, HVAC systems, windows, and other components of the building to meet the necessary performance levels.Energy Modeling: Typically, you'll need to pay for an energy consultant or engineer to model the building's energy performance and ensure it qualifies for the credit.

If you have prior experience, it will help tremendously to make them switch.

You have tax benefits through depreciation and you are gaining experience via property management.  

I have some real estate experience as a commercial real estate agent for the last few years.

This is my first investment, and I've learned a lot from this experience so far, and I'm ready to keep moving forward with new projects.I am interested in investing locally in Denton County and the surrounding counties.
