If I put the money in the stock market, and got a 10% return, well, after tax on the gains, that return is more like 7.5%.

The market can shift, and suddenly the price you thought you'd get might not be realistic anymore.

This includes how you furnish, what rate you rent it for, how you market and find your target customer.

Yeah makes sense - the thing is they will pay market price for a lot of these my friend.

I own a half dozen residential rentals, but with high prices lately decided to move into commercial real estate for the first time, which seems to be a much more depressed market at the moment.  

I have my own rental units too and have not wondered outside my market... yet!

You’re in an exciting and booming market there in the DFW metroplex as I'm sure you've noticed.

You don't need to have an agent (although that would be great, but it's not a good use of their time until you are pre-approved and ready) because there are Open Houses every weekend in every market.

Hey William,There are many ways to market your units.

@Jordan DzubakHey Jordan, I live in Kitty Hawk and invest heavily in the OBX STR market and would be happy to get together to help in anyway that I can.
