My wife and I self manage a mix of short, mid, and long term rentals.

Have a scenario to run by everyone:My wife recently received a job offer in which she would make a lot more money, but we would have to relocate.  

My wife also made it clear that if we were going to expand beyond what we already own, she didn’t want to be involved in managing them.

Hi Andrea, my wife and I own a Short Term Rental in West Michigan so I would be happy to answer any questions you have on how to analyze the property, what you should look for in a property and what questions to ask the county. 

After years of research and deliberation, my wife and I determined to start our real estate portfolio in 2025.

Today, I analyzed over 10 condos, and while I found one with a positive cash-on-cash return, it was far from impressive.I’d love to hear from experienced condo investors about why this type of real estate might make sense despite the low cash-on-cash returns and HOA fees that cannot be influenced.As a bonus, if anyone has purchased investment properties for their children with a similar goal, I’d really appreciate any insights about your process or results.I am looking at buying 2 investment condos for my children to pay for their college tuition in 13-15 years.

I’m green and ignorant so if anyone knows anything about the area I’d love to chat.

@Ricky Reddin, sorry to hear your wife's mom passed away.

Quote from @Martin Phinney: My wife and I are considering a move from the Seattle area to the Scottsdale area to be closer to her parents.

Hey i would definitely love to be back on the show !!!
