New investor here and excited to engage with the community.

Let me walk you through some exciting trends that I’ve observed firsthand, which could shape the future of your portfolio.1.

Real Estate Investing can be an exciting and rewarding venture, offering the potential for significant financial returns and the opportunity to create wealth over time.

The rental had ratty furniture, a record player prominently featured in the marketing but it had no speakers, missing basics items in the kitchen, lots of drunks in the concrete hallways that reverberated right into the bedroom at 2am, a strong odor of urine outside, and more.We have super hosts in this forum that have hundreds of 5-star reviews and are masters of the craft, but I look at their rentals and see they don't have any artwork on the walls, decor is basic, they do nothing to make the guest feel welcome, etc. 

Thanks so much in advance for your help—I’m excited to be part of this community and learn from all of you! 

It is exciting.

@Sebastian NadalWelcome to the exciting world of Real Estate Investing.

Welcome to Chicago and excited to have you as part of our real estate community!

I was excited about these possibilities and at the same time skeptical.

I’m excited to share a bit about my experience purchasing and operating a laundromat.
