Denver has a lot of older properties with value-add potential—small upgrades like fresh paint, updated kitchens, or even just better landscaping can make a big difference in forcing appreciation.

Shouldn't be any extra taxes involved.

We put in two new baths, kitchen, and a nice landscaping package.

There is less risk involved in the cheaper properties .

This potential merger could significantly reshape the U.S. convenience store landscape, continuing the industry’s trend of growth through acquisitions.

Thanks for mentioning the KIND of job that someone like me wanting to be more involved in real estate could look for.

My advice to you is that syndications involve more layers of what I would call "Middle Management" - which takes money (profits you might call them) to fund.  

The title attorney involved had open communication with all parties on this and an addendum was added to the contract stating this.   

For fast burning, you need to find an investment with 30-50% cash on cash returns - that is where I am skeptical - I have already invested in many of the vehicles they suggest and have not seen that kind of return (or it involves more risk).

Although the cleaner is probably the most important piece to the puzzle for your STR success, there is alot more involved with managing it.
