People just make sure they have all that they need when they head out.

I have been to RE meetups in the past with like-minded everyday investors pursuing similar goals, sharing stories and learning from each other, running through numbers, sharing network contacts, and even doing deals together.

Would be happy to help with insights into the area and run through numbers. 

You can learn about demand, running an airbnb, and all the moving parts.

At least run this with good, bad, worst scenarios.

If you want to run few scenarios reach out. 

Hey, Jaycee, I've only been running it for a couple of months now since I closed but it's been doing about $6000/month in gross rents so far, this month will very likely be closer to $4500-ish since it's by far the worst month of the year for rentals in that area. 

They originally wanted 360k, but the mortgage would have the property running negative for the foreseeable future until all renovations are done, which I won't do. 

They sound great in a vacuum, but when you run the numbers in real life scenarios they mostly don't work...

Doing this would put my new properties making next to nothing, running some rough numbers I may make $100 or $150 per month on new properties with mortgages that are around $1,500 per month.
