Hello BP,I want to embark on my first direct mail marketing campaign using postcards, and I wanted to see if I could get a recommendation on postcard size based on what seems to get the most attention/calls. These are...

I've spent the last few weeks analyzing the VA Beach market and have found that my decision to pursue being a landlord and renting multi-family units seems to be an optimal choice for that market.

If you use it for cookie sheets, see if you can add a shelf above the sheets to optimize storage.

Their sites are optimized to rank but that does not guarantee anything.

A day with excel forecasting, projecting, and running analysis to optimize a deal are my favorite days. 

I've got a potential opportunity to evaluate an off market deal to purchase a commercial retail property that has a restaurant tenant (focus on regional/national craft beers with tapas type food menu) in the CBD of a growing small city.  

Then, once you gain skills necessary and understanding of how properties should be managed to optimize return, then you decide the best way to scale your business and reach your investment goals.

Another option is to use a home style renovation loan which does accommodate primary residences 1-4 unit, second homes 1 unit only, and investment/non owner properties as well (1 unit only).The LTV's are similar to regular conventional financing from 75-95% LTV with the lower being investment and the higher being primary residences.The benefit is you can combine your purchase money loan and your rehab cost into one loan upon purchase and your rate is 5.00% or less as of current rates while with hard money you may be in the double digits with multiple points.The downside being that you may need more time to close, these renovation loans typically take 40-60 days to close.Your original question basically strikes at a balance of asset protection (LLC hysteria/hype) versus financing optimization (best rate/terms/etc).

If not, what software can you recommend that is optimized for STRs?

What states have the best tax laws for investors to optimize the amount they get to keep with real estate investing?
