@Christian HwangFor contractors, Yelp is okay, but referrals from other flippers in your target market tend to yield the best results.

In 30+ years we've been sued 1x (legal blackmail over a tenant's drunken trip/fall) which the insurance company settled for $1,500.00).We've been using some privacy tactics to keep our names off the county recorder and the target off our backs.Further, we review our insurance coverage and premium annually, just to keep on top of any changes.As with all insurance, it seems to be a waste of money... until you NEED it!

The investment is a little bit more upfront since you'll have to furnish the room and bathroom fully, but you may be able to command a higher rent each month since you're covering all utilities, WIFI, and providing all the furnishings.Either way, renting out the room is a great idea and I'm sure it will be helpful so you can rest a little bit easier while you save to move to Lakeview, eventually :)

I used a PM in the DR because it was just easier, especially with the language barrier and definite distance issues but I did co-host the listing on Airbnb.

I’ve met most of my partners through in-person events because it’s easier to get a feel for someone’s personality and long-term vision.

That $800 a month in cash flow isn't bad, and having great tenants makes things so much easier.

If you're investing in major cities, you'll have an easier time with occupancy rates for STR for Airbnb, but will have be very cautious about the changing laws.

If the separation of funds was for asset protection (in this case there was another reason), it is my belief that an umbrella policy is easier than trying to maintain separation of assets especially when the property has been purchased with individual’s money and financing.  

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

But just think of the reality first you have to find someone who will sell you a sub to  NOT EASY and then you have to find someone who will buy it owner contract Easier..
