Target cities with job growth or up-and-coming neighborhoods with revitalization projects.

@Karim Wahba, as Chris noted, I would suggest a Fund structure.  

I do recognize the GR is an extreme case and hopefully we do not experience anything similar to GR.So their theory does not match my reality as someone who actually had well established STRs at the GR.I suggest you be leery of people who present theories without any experience related to their theory. 

I'd suggest it is best to do cosmetic changes and sell it.  

If your contract states the percentage you get from future bookings...usually it's 10%...take that and have the owner move all bookings to their listing.If you don't have a contract, I'm not sure what to suggest except to split ways peaceable, even if you lose money.

If you are currently employed, do not quit that job until you are 100% financially and can support yourself.

That job site is unlike anything I've seen.

You need to connect with all the brokers in your market and create a relationship with them.With your success, you can show them you're in the gam looking to scale.All the bestJust remember, cash flow gets you out of your job, equity keeps you out!

Hello, I'm a relatively new real estate agent and one of my primary reasons for getting my real estate license was to leverage it for real estate investing in my area, which is Northern Virginia.Therefore, I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations for investor-friendly brokerages where I could potentially hang my license and be an active real estate investor.One caveat, is that, I am a part-time real estate agent/part-time real estate investor.Any insights from the members would be greatly appreciated!

Leverage tends to adds risk, I always recommend having the worst case backed up by, long term job prospects, other liquid assets to cover losses, an/or the ability to take measured risk more than once to even out uncertainty.The richest individuals use leverage to their advantage all the time, but it should be used with care.Zach
