Mortgage companies want to get rid of the low interest loans.

And what resources/websites do you like use to analyze a market for things like: job growth, population growth, unemployment rates, crime rate, what big companies/firms are there/moving in, etc.? 

Situations like this is exactly why I love having a good PM company in my arena.

I am trying to figure out how J and Dave got to $65,000 in the following section (I am reading the eBook version so page numbers won't correspond with the physical book):  Towards the end of Chapter 2; "Finally, notice that the owner equity in this business totals about $65,000; because John is sole owner of the business, that $65,000 is the value that John transfers to his PFS and can claim as his ownership value in the company.”Everything up to this point was clearly explained on how they got to the number, except this $65,000.

This is easy to see in earnings reports for credit card companies (that continue to blow out earnings, with travel as their lead category), hotel companies, and Airbnb itself.I think a lot of it is just going overseas now as international travel continues to strengthen. 

I'd suggest you also contact local property management companies as they may know people who are looking to buy places.

For instance, I worked for a company who was more focused on running successful deals than they were marketing.  

If you decide to the rental property route, my company offers comprehensive property management services.

People hire you for your experience, reputation, and connections.

As I've explored things, it seems like most of the reputable syndicators with good track records turn to institutional investors.
