Hello BP community,It's nice to see so many discussions from like minded people!

Over the past year, we’ve seen values go up anywhere from 3-6%, and with more people moving in, that trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

Typically I recommend that people get very clear on your vision for not only what you want to do but the exact markets you want to do projects in and narrow your focus to those.

Unfortunately, people are going to lose their butts on condos unless they got them crazy cheap many years ago. 

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

Furthermore, going direct to seller requires patience and people skills.

Optimizing your listing photos for specific shots that perform highly and leveraging Airbnb AI to maximize visibility in top categories.Why CTR MattersCTR, or Click-Through Rate, measures the percentage of people who click on your listing after seeing it in search results.

I know many people have done it this way,  but two major parts I am concerned about are 1) how do you handle all the paperwork such as W2's, 1099's business records, etc. without meeting in person?

One way would be to get the real estate under contract, then bring an experienced partner in who also has access to capital, and stay in the deal as a minority equity partner.
