I recently was approached by a company who wants to buyout my rooftop cell tower lease.

A property management company has approached me to partner with them so that they can start managing short-term rentals in addition to the long-term rentals that already manage.Their role would be the boots on the ground dealing with turnover and maintenance and I would handle pricing and guest interactions.

I did this approach with the first 3 homes we lived in, all about 2 years fixing slowly.

When you take ownership the best approach is to push to full market immediately to maximise profits long term.

You also need a systematic way of analyzing them quickly.

The downside to this approach is not having the capital from the sell of the house.

The issue with answering your questions is that every individual has different goals and ways they should approach the "next steps" depending on their financial situations. 

Always loving hearing your success and how you took on a less then normal approach to investing!

What I find most interesting is all the different paths that are mentioned and different ways to approach this.

I think my slow and steady approach for the first 2 years will allow much more rapid expansion in the 2 years ahead!
