Adding details and specifics can help get to the answer or direction you're looking for.

I've owned and continue to own both, and there is no way someone can tell me with a straight face they spend less time getting a lender, giving them 80 documents, clarifying documents, talking to a seller, signing contracts, hiring a property manager (or managing yourself), bookkeeping, managing repairs, insurance and hoa setup, sending the lender more documents vs. vetting a sponsor and wiring money.I'm have very good luck with my rentals and I spend very little of my life on them, but that very little is STILL 5-10X what I spend on passive investments.One missed payment or eviction is added stress; you don't even hear about this as a passive investor.

I added value by rehabbing both of the units inside the property What was the outcome?

Maybe start with adding 1 more property instead of 3.

I am looking to create a value ad to the property.

.- I posted a recent rehab that I added half a bathroom out of existing space and the comps showed that half bathroom added $50k of value.  

We added value by investing $45,000 in well-planned renovations, modernizing key areas, enhancing curb appeal, and ensuring market-ready quality.

Quote from @JD Martin: Quote from @Benjamin Weinhart: Speaking to your item #6, I was actually told by the staff here over the phone maybe 5-6 months ago that DMing someone is fine so long as it's not a copy/paste ad and is specific to the individual.

These are top drive-to destinations for much of the Southeast, so short-term rentals here can generate solid cash flow, especially during peak seasons.The area is also seeing steady growth, with more infrastructure and amenities being added to support visitors and new residents.

Just added the "official" first meetup post in the Events & Meetup Section!
