My aim is to not only profit financially but to gain in the process some intangible assets, such as project management skills, getting to know reliable professionals (i.e. realtors, contractors, designers, etc.) for the long-term, getting acquainted with the local market's promises and pitfalls, and basically adding some entrepreneurial muscle going into my next project.My strategy is to go small: find a second-hand apartment in a good location (I don't have enough funds for a GREAT location...); no more than 60-70 m2 (that's about 650-750 f2) to, among other things, lower renovation costs; 1-2 bedrooms, street facing and with a lift (if said apartment is above the second floor); with good bones, i.e., needs only partial renovation.

I got my CPA/EA who I won't promote as he's not on here and what not, and that's not what I do.

This helps you cross promote your best content.

You won't find Oz Realty, you'll see Keller Williams, Key Realty, Danberry Realty.They specialize in home sales on the MLS.Oz Realty certainly does not, and if you review our website-- we don't promote listing properties for sale at all. 

Also any other ideas to help promote properties would be appreciated.Thanks

Huntsville is a very popular market (and there are short direct flights from DC too), but I would encourage you to take a look in Florence and Muscle Shoals, Alabama where we manage.If you are interested in the Shoals area, I can help you with insights regarding economic vibrancy, market dynamics, investment strategy, high-ranking public-school systems, etc... and a turn-key experience by helping you find an investment and managing it too.

Another option would be to hire some day laborers to help out.As I mentioned, the work doesn't require much technical skill (and there are probably lots of useful how-to articles and videos online), it just requires a lot of muscle and physical labor--it's a job where many hands make for lighter work.I'm in your area, so, after it's dried out, if you want me to come take a look and discuss the possible causes and solutions to prevent further flooding, dm me.

I can tell you Rentredi is a huge time waste between issues with the apps and lack of service. big thumbs down and im honestly surprised they are promoted on here. 

Most likely self promotion or advertising. 

Most of these syndication, are typically promoting "the STR market" rather than their actual track record.The moment I clicked "View more details" of their holding , I can see their future booking.My respond was ............ nahhhh, my STR is performing way better for them.You could forecast their revenue by checking future booking.
