Usually before going out of state I tend to tell newbies to figure out how to take on their states by the balls first once that is done I can recommend other places because why not home is the footprint in RE….  

As for finding LP's, start out with family/friends who you trust to get the ball rolling/build your own credibility/experience.

Either way I am excited to get the ball rolling and start buying property. 

No one has a crystal ball to when rates will get better and if rates get better, there will be 5x the buyers out there so prices will go up.

And if someone's not responsible for something else, then that Ball can be dropped which can lead to further consequences.

Operations is a game of keeping a lot of balls in the air.

There is a small group of locals who are anti-STR but the good majority are pro-STR due the the fact that STRs bring a ton of revenue for local businesses and jobs for locals.Regarding summers, the temperature is the hottest in August and can get up to 100 degrees so STRs with pools do better in the summer.

Our response stressed that we take great care of the pool with weekly maintenance, that they enjoyed having the temperature in the high 90s, and we are glad they liked all of our pool and beach supplies, etc.  

If not then you could just put in a smart thermostat and lock it but you are inevitably going to have people unhappy with the temperature. 

Very informative and gives an interesting look at investors' experience in this market.But courtesy first, my husband and I are "out"-out-of-state investors, looking for deals in NE and East of Downtown.For the past 3 months, we've been researching and submitting offers on properties to match the COMPS and rejected.Our budget is about $100K, stretching it to 120K for the right property + rehab.The problem is that we had to offer low-balls for the numbers to work, and then get rejected.It seems it's a narrow fit to BRRR, hence the cashflow is "on edge" here.Doesn't appreciation suppose to be the icing on the top?
