I’ve learned to start the permitting process early and keep a close eye on inspection timelines to avoid bottlenecks.It can be difficult to find contractors who are not only skilled but also reliable and available when you need them.

As I said, I have no personal experience with him. 

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Keep rent a little bit below market and keep the property maintained and you can get great responsible tenants. 

for me personally - i will only BRRRR or seller finance, I won't plunk down 20-25% anymore. 

It's a lot of work to find those sellers and if its a sweet deal, most of the brokers will keep them for themselves or a close relationship. 3. 

This is a great topic of discussion and ultimately I think depends on your goals and what metrics you personally try to maximize. 

I personally don't agree with the cost per square foot method, way to vague and inaccurate.

Unless I'm missing something here, it sounds like just renting it out personally is the best option. 

Feel free to DM and we can see if you’d be a good fit the market I work and if not, at least I can give you a few pointers as far as STR fundamentals and a couple resources for cost segregation.One thing to add regarding cost segregation:You should always read the bio and resume of the persons signing your Cost Segregation study.
