I always get pumped to see new-comers to the investing game, especially when they're willing to put the time in to research exactly what they want to do.

I'm really hoping to find a seasoned veteran to mentor me in the game.

They attempt to find a list of active buyers who are looking for specific types of deals (yield, stable, value add, construction play, etc) and they send the deals directly to these folks. 

I think what Lucas is saying is you’re gambling if your game plan is to have a short term rental in a community of primary residents.

This property is in a nice neighborhood, but this particular deal may be more of an appreciation play. 

I recently went through this with a duplex I sold for an acquaintance...we finally ended up changing the locks and keeping a key to each unit...we'd give 24-hour notice for showings and inspection and try to complete when they were at work...all according to the lease terms of course.This is a tough issue in general...keep us posted how this plays out.

We called tonight and left a message been playing phone tag.Thanks again

We do not play by the same rule book as the ultra wealthy, alas. 

I have been playing around with a few apps out there.  

Anyway, I am now a little older, wiser and more financially secure and have got the itch to get back into the game; the right way this time.
