You do your best to purchase wisely, execute a pre-meditated and well researched strategy, and let the compounding effect of time take over. 10 years from now, the purchase price being 5% above or below current market value won't matter.

Many many many traveling professionals travel solo.

Somewhere close to GA would be good to commute, in case if we have to make a travel to see the actual property.

Majority of the renters on there are travel nurses which helps with the tenant quality (in my opinion). 

Knowing that I had a 3-year prepayment penalty, I structured the lease option so that if the option is executed within 3 years, then the tenant buyer pays that fee for me. 

@Elton Tate congratulations on executing on a property! 

A business model that has always made sense to me is teaching people how to find good deals and have them bring them to me for more critical evaluation and execution where I invest my capital beside yours.

My partner and I both have 9-5 jobs with mine requiring work travel, so it has been a challenge attending local meet-ups regularly; which is why I am so glad this platform exists to help us network! 

It also has become a popular travel destination over the last 5 years or so, so there has been an increase in competition in the STR space as well. 

When you are willing to cover your mouth with a handkerchief and step over land mines to see if the layout works for a LTR you know you're a real estate investor 😁 lolI've seen it all and smelt it all.Just haven't found a dead person yet in a property heheFunny thing is, having travelled a lotSome cultures consider animalistic smells attractive.Even aphrodisiacs.Personally, I love me some niche perfumes and have always bought the heavy Middle Eastern Oud scents.Repulsive when first applied but give it a few minutes and it blends into the skin making it sweet, sour and woody lolMaybe cat piss after some time smelling it would also blend in with our olfactory senses like it does with the other cultures hehehehe 🙈
