New member here, or I should say poster as I've been a lurker for a few months.My name is Robbie Fontova and I'm a personal trainer in New Orleans, home of Mardi Gras, Bourbon St., and some of the finest dining in the world.

I still believe in cold calling, but not in a way that directly implies you want to buy the home.

The name of the endorsement implies that it’s intended for mixed use / part-time STR but there’s no language that limits the number of STR days or % STR use, and our agent is fully aware that it’s a full-time STR property.  

Didn't mean to imply I was a dirtbag.

I am newbie and confused about bay area market for some time.does the large amount of construction in bay area mean prices are going up or is that bad.i would think higher construction leads to larger supply and thus rents shouldn't increase. my investor friend says its good since it implies higher confidence in upcoming years of employment. this is held me back for multiple years whereas rents have continued to increase - the numbers barely worked 2 years ago (prices were lower but so were rents), the numbers barely work now (since rents are higher but so are prices).what is the correct thing?

Despite what the Gurus imply banks want as much money as they can possibly get for every REO property.   .   .  

Saying "the bank wouldn't find out" implies the cat and mouse game that in my opinion is a dangerous one!

They are NOT high end properties but they do generate great cash returns.However, your decision to take the 'Owner Occupied' route would imply the need for a strategy that pursues whatever generates the highest net income to pay down that investment so you can 'move on' quickly & upgrade to the next opportunity.good luck....
