Hi Argel, congrats you are an inspiration to so many investors out there feeling stuck in their W2 job!

It is important to remember you own real estate in the Poconos and you are choosing to operate a STR business.

Would you be taking any pay loss from the job switch? 

I have full time job but can help where I can. 

To scale, replicate this winning formula in similar markets, optimize operations for Section 8 tenants, and consider networking with like-minded investors to uncover new opportunities and partnerships.

That's not my job as the owner. 

The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

It’s great for showing hundreds of forum posts which my phone doesn’t do such a good job of showing as many posts through the website.
