I focus on finding deals that meet specific criteria, and I always keep my underwriting conservative to make sure the numbers work even on a worst case scenario.Right now, my big goal is to land my first property, ideally 20+ units in Florida, and build a strong portfolio from there.

Only the first can be corrected, but us making a mistake and getting anything less than 5 star review is stricly unacceptable in my eyes and my team also has a strong sense of ownership in their position and loyalty to my company.   

Which I also would tell you that if you have trouble managing finances and poor credit I strongly advise against real estate as its capital intensive and if you struggle now managing money having more money and real estate only exacerbates that issue.

And to be honest if you could get some strong social media coverage (like hire someone that knows STR to market the property), you could do very well!

Congrats on your first STR in Sevierville—sounds like a strong start!

Most hard money lenders base their terms on the deal’s equity and your experience, so with a solid flip track record like yours, you should be able to find better leverage — especially if the deal has a strong ARV.What's the ARV on the property?

. - not having a strong or deep 'why'.  

@Matt McNabbYou’re in a great position to start building your real estate portfolio with clear goals and strong resources.

In conclusion: because Kiavi does not know or does not care about Taylor’s chronic ineptitude; because Kiavi has never bothered to put together an introductory email document to clients explaining the steps, requirements and responsibilities of the refinancing process; and because Kiavi does not bother to fix an obviously broken client portal website, it’s clear that the company does not strongly value customer experience and satisfaction.

Property values: There is a strong relationship between homeownership and property values.
