This will provide you experience, a story to tell, and the credibility needed for adding additional clients.I'm happy to discuss more.

I also appreciate you sharing your story.

I hadn't read the Baltimore story before...wow.Hi Sathiya, some thoughts: - attend in person meet ups in the Boston area to talk to other investors who buy locally and out of state to get their feedback and maybe consider looking within a 2 to 3 hour drive. - cash flow is difficult now with long term rentals even if you pick markets that have lower purchase prices than Boston.

I’m grinding to get my first deal and seeing your story gets me hyped!

In fact, i use it on every booking, not just direct, as I have heard too many stories of Airbnb not paying for damages or not paying enough.

The story was she rented the place in the 1950's, under rent control then under rent stabilization laws.

There are some that are great for sure, but I have currently heard terrible stories about people putting money in the last 2-3 years and losing it all, capital calls and losing the whole deal due to bad bridge loans (some coming do very soon). 

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

So we had it on our personal return last year and i won’t detail it but it was a bit sketch when we had to provide financials (we can redact mine but not hers long story). 

I assumed some would need replaced, which would be okay, but I would hate to see it all trashed.I guess in that vein though, I hear that a lot about LTRs -- the horror stories -- and we have been blessed with amazing tenants (generally) so I was thinking it would be along the same line where it would be something where you would want to charge high-end and screen intensely to try to get a tenant that just is transitioning and can benefit from the furnishings.I know that could still happen though, even with all the precautions you can take, so it's something good to consider!
