Simple enough.What makes it unique is that we have operated a profitable and successful business out of our home for nearly 4 years as a highly booked Hostel and event space + potential urban market farm.

Pls do, thank you Remington. i'm just starting in this market and would love to see how can i add value to Agents working there.

Cleveland is a hot rental investing market due to the lower price points and higher rent/price ratios. 

Haven't found much resources on how to structure the deal whether to buy out partner's shares at existing basis (I believe this wouldn't be advantageous as I wouldn't get to mark the asset to market and lose out on depreciation) or open new LLC or S-Corp and buy out both partners (I would end up taking gain tax due to sale but would get new dep. basis).

The free apps usually provide less functionality than the paid ones.Reviews: Be sure to read online reviews before making a decision.

As of now, my general plan is to find a local realtor online who is experienced with real estate investing (and has investment properties of their own) to help me find a good local deal (goal is 20-25% return on ARV), get a hard money loan, aiming to rehab/repair/extend the property with my father (both have construction experience) within 4-5 months, and as for the loan exit strategy either sell or rent (depending on the deal). 

Urban areas like Austin still attract buyers for the lifestyle and tech-driven job market.I believe more buyers will lean towards the suburban areas because of interest rates and getting more for their money.You’re absolutely right that there’s demand in both urban and suburban markets in Texas.

She recently presented an off-market property in need of significant rehab.

Every market is different, but in New Orleans there are two types of guests: 1)  Guests looking for a dirt cheap place to stay and don't care where it is, but will complain about the tiniest little things, when in most cases the Airbnb is much nicer than their own home.2)  Guests looking for a unique stay in a real neighborhood (how Airbnb started, until investors of faceless LLCs started to gobble up and change the fabric of these neighborhoods).

Was there a way to do this myself online which would have worked better?
