A handful of homes I owned (which I couldn’t sell) and some early-mover, non-local investor-acquired homes rounded out our inventory.

The financial friend gets a super safe investment and when you want your house back, you exercise your option and buy it back.The numbers I used in this example were just round numbers for example purposes, please don't get hung up on them.

But these mentorships from what I have learned will get you on the fast track and in the round table with people who have 15-30 years experience so that you can become an active investor faster.This may not be the same for all mentorship programs.

Great potential for year round revenue for short term rentals.

I can't imagine a house doing $11k during the winter and I'm not sure May-August would generate enough extra revenue to average $11k year round.

Look for year round relationships and ideally a firm that integrates asset protection into their services and/or acts as a center of influence among other professionals who are necessary to get you to a tax free life!

Welcome Cady, you seem like a well rounded person in real estate and business, pretty uncommon for a realtor.

I have a couple of other STRs and a mix of stock and alternative investments to round everything out.  

Great idea based on a year round secret that most never even realize is a cash flow opportunity.

I'm local to Nashville, so if we can round up some other STR folks, I'm happy to suggest some venues for a meetup later in the week.
