It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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