Setting up direct bookings is a great way to avoid platform fees!

Therefore, any strategic/investing where you have a solid plan to get most/all of your capital back would be my target for this type of capital.

The best projects I've seen from my desk are folks who are doing hyper-targeted, well-researched deals that are generally in higher cost of living (there are exceptions) areas. 

A knowledgeable attorney can advise here.Create a solid operating agreement: Since you own the condo with a friend, a clear operating agreement is essential to outline responsibilities, decision-making, and profit-sharing for the LLC.To save on costs:Look for real estate attorneys who specialize in investment properties and might offer package deals for the retitling, operating agreement, and filing the LLC.Shop around for title companies that can handle the transfer smoothly and provide competitive rates.Research DIY options for setting up the LLC if your situation is straightforward, though I’d still recommend a lawyer for the transfer process itself.Good luck with the process!

I will send you a connection and we should get a call set up to discuss.

I've been setting up deals but i think they look solid.

My thoughts: don't get set on just one trend since your goal is to purchase in 2026, as we've all experienced, a lot can happen in a year.

@Aaron Zimmerman Good point about structure set up and determining cost bases.
