I have purchased an off-market property from an investor who now wants to sell the rest of his portfolio.

During period of low interest every post on BP was about cash flow - now that cash flow upon acquisition is dead the only option is equity which is also reeling because price appreciation is finally back to realitypersonally I buy for growth because I buy to hold for 10-20 years or longer.

We used $100k of private money and the rest was personal cash.

I have been tweaking pricing periodically and viewing comps to other cabins in the area.Will definitely look into Trip Shock and the affiliate/ partner options. 

When your a housing provider where good decent people want to live, well the rest just has a way of taking care of itself, it really does. 

There are two large community pools, which are heated during the cooler months, tennis and pickle ball courts.The minimum STR period has been reduced from a year to six months.

More than half are under property management, the rest I do on my own.

My first property was a duplex, and then a year or so later she bought her house, and we moved in together living in MIL suite basement and rented out the rest of the house.

@Samuel Coronado, @Elan Adler  Entire subdivisions of build to rent put more pressure on local landlords because the big institutional investors can afford to buy tenants with low rents and free initial rent period.

If you are willing to do this over a long period of time, this can be a great strategy, especially in a low-inventory market.
