I was blown away by the resources shared on this website, let alone the podcasts (I'm already on BP episode 71, the content is simply staggering).I currently work for an international parts importer in the automotive industry under the title of Account Sales Executive.

Also Episode 56 of the podcast serves as a good primer for Tax Liens.

I would love to meet up with other local investors (I'm on the westside) and chat about real estate and/or podcast episodes.

It’s not as easy as the shows make it seem, I’ve never seen an episode where the investor lost a ton of money but it happens all the time.

Check out the Real Estate CPA podcast episode on the "BARRRR" method for an explanation.

I hadn't found a house that I was crazy about purchasing yet, I just couldn't quite find a property that met all the criteria I'm looking for in my investment properties.So as I continued doing it I decided to go back and listen to every podcast from Episode 1 until now and there was one episode that caught my attention in particular. 

There was a guest on the podcast at one point that talked about renting to patients who were travelling to an area for care.  I don't remember the details, but it was something like people who had to go for a month or...

Plus, demand is diminishing quickly as we head into recession ...so, that could be a perfect storm to put a lot of STRs out of business. ...Also, air bnb recently changed their platform to focus on top-tier, highly unique properties (think: luxury beach front tree house)--as a result, a lot of the more "typical" units are getting pushed down in priority on the platform, and are having problems with vacancy.  ...so, these are issues you'll definitely want to read up on carefully (if you haven't already); there have already been a number of podcast episodes / blog posts / articles on this topic for you to check out...at the end of the day, you'll want your financial models to include some really serious "worst case scenarios" (e.g.; extended vacancy) to stress test your model before you do the deal...If you do the deal, you'll definitely want a thorough contract that outlines all the responsibilities, authorities, obligations, etc. of both parties, and which outlines processes for as many eventualities as possible (for instance, her/your rights to remodel parts of the property, her/your decision making authorities if one party decides they want to use the property differently than originally planned, or if one of you decides you want out of the property, her/your responsibilities for repair costs, processes for dealing with unexpectedly high vacancy, etc., etc., etc.)   ...I'd suggest listing out as many of these issues as possible, coming to an agreement on them, then drafting a contract and sending your contract to a contract attorney for review before you sign...If you do this deal, definitely keep us updated on how it goes--it sounds like an interesting one!

If you scroll back an episode or two you will find my guest spot where we talked about target markets, house hacking, and a bunch of other things.2) You have a built-in way of helping other investors that could help you gain a solid mentor quicker because of your data background.

Danny Johnson's flipping junkie podcast had an episode discussing this... you should check it out, its episode 9.
