Best Success!

@James Hamling I agree, I didn't see where Ivan talked much about his team and networking contacts but for me those are most important to me being able to stay relevant and successful in my local market.

Having reasonable expectations, hiring a local professional (Realtor or PM), doing your research, and doing everything right (i.e. pro photos, professional design, good renovation, proper amenities and location, etc) are the keys to success in 2025.

Showcase testimonials, success stories, or industry certifications on your landing pages and follow-up emails.

Wishing you success,MelissaRent to Retirement Investment Strategist

My client recently purchased a home with a hard money loan and have successfully rehabbed it for use as an Airbnb rental.

Completely agree that each market is unique, and success comes from actually doing the work.
