This entire conversation in my opinion comes into play for a group or entity that may have 50-100 STR's where the branding will matter more but to be honest from what we have seen when they get that large they usually have lack luster service and subpar reviews- in the end someone that is 1031'ing mostly cares about that cash flow at that level and that's why and mostly only why they care about buying a brand. 1-15 units and a brand is nice but in my opinion wont break a deal- we are trying to do it but in the end its more for our guests to have a simple streamlined way to book with us.

I'll track studio, 1BR, 2BR, etc. as well as location and how nice they are finished.

Nice job closing that first, but don't rush.

That is a good point for them to factor in, nice one!

At my point in life everything I own is both a cash flow superstar and appreciating nicely, because I'm invested in growing, popular areas.If I was just starting off now, I'd probably be aiming for value-add in good areas where I could either live there while improving the unit(s) - ie a duplex, triplex - or where I could trade sweat equity for profit, or both.

Nice to chat with you again. 

Nice, but confusing.Our situation: FICA for kids turning 18 while working for us.So, the only thing we can conclude so far is that the age definitions in the tax law are wildly inconsistent and unclear.

Nice work Glenn ;)

Would be nice if about us pages on these sites, were a little more detailed with photos of who is behind the company.

That’s nice, but why must you grow right now, particularly when you’ve already said you’re uncomfortable with the idea of expanding (stress)?
