If you gave me 285k to market you as PM, I would blow your business up with leads and clients.

Your strategy of converting the garage into an additional dwelling unit (ADU) and using the property for short-term rentals (STRs) sounds like it has paid off well, especially given the unique aspects of the property and its location.Your approach to identifying a unique investment opportunity that was overlooked by others, and your patience in securing the right deal, are key takeaways for anyone looking to invest in real estate.

It's also essential to stress-test assumptions, ensuring the deal can withstand tough scenarios.Using models or spreadsheets streamlines the process, but mastering underwriting takes time and experience, evolving with market changes.In short, underwriting involves dissecting financials, considering market trends, and stress-testing assumptions.

under the right circumstances, you maybe able to get the loan, then place the property in service shortly after and get the best of both worlds.

Zillow gets the best results when we list our houses - about 90% of our leads come from zillow inspite of syndicating across many other services.

You must have to think about this property for hours every week, that's not how it should be....Don't be short-term greedy and hang in there for the immediate money.

I'll send you a PM about that here shortly. 

Thats awesome that you only started such a short time ago and have a good amount under your belt.

The SE tax is a minor expense compared to the advantage of owning RE tax free( capital gains and cashflow) including short term vacation rentals inside your Solo401k.

That leads me to where I am now and some of the thoughts and ideas on what brings me here to make this post.
