I'm closing on another property on Friday and I'm trying to decide if it's a waste of money 

If so, for them to stay they would have to cough up that extra money ...

I was trying to go for cash flow (on paper)  but I'm losing money every month, not sure when these properties will stabilize.

So often I see people with all this money and success, but their health is deteriorating.

That's how agents make money, by bringing buyers and sellers together, and they should be compensated to that work.

If you are not bringing them business, some don't let you just take the money from your own sale, they wouldn't stay in business long if they allowed that. 

Or, the same-sized house sells for different amounts of money in different parts of town - see if you can figure out why that is.Good luck!

Used my deployment money to purchase a property in Sacramento using VA loan. 

I'm Deon Knights from Frisco,TX, passionate about real estate investing for some time now and I'm particularly passionate about MTR and STR properties.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my family and my pup Milo.

I offer a 20-30% discount depending on the property, time of year (sometimes a long term guest just isn’t worth the amount of money you can lose), and length of stay. 2.
