First post here and super excited to learn the tricks of the trade from all you real estate all-stars.

The listing agent is motivated to raise your offer and look like a rock star to the bank (and their broker) so the bank will send them more listings.

In a story in the Indianapolis Star the city has issued 877 letters and will be implementing fines if a property is not registered as required with the Landlord Registry. 

I'm an agent at New Star Properties where we manage large multifamily portfolios.  

If you do decide to do STRs in 29 Palms, please encourage your guests to respect the neighborhood, be quiet, keep garbage under control, and limit light pollution to keep those precious dark, star-filled skies. 

Brittani King with Leader One is a rock star.

Again, you won't learn everything but you'll know a ton.In either of these jobs, you'll also interact and have a chance to learn who the rock star agents are in your area and a ton of other useful skills/knowledge that will set you up for success, no matter what kind of RE investing you choose to do.

Hollywood stars, politicians and sports figures are self-important windbags. 

Is this like having all the stars and the moon line up?

All the best on building a 5 star team that will take you to the next level.
