Local/Regional STR owner associations as well as AirBnb and VRBO often lobby for common sense regulations.

We've set a rather aggressive goal for 10 houses in 2017, now that we have a bit of a system in place to find, locate, research, buy, renovate and then rent.

I think it’s important to step back to put your RE goals into perspective.

A better question might be, how do I find properties that meet my goals using realisticprivate lender rates and terms?

I'm going into my 7th year and I have only had 2 evictions at this point - but with both of them my maintenance team checks on the unit every 2.5 weeks until the tenant has completely moved out so that we are keeping an eye on the property and making repairs as needed for a QUICK turn over for new tenant (goal is a less than a 24 hour turn over period)!

My current RE goals are to invest in my first commercial real estate property within the next year.Cheers

If you want to increase the size of your financial buffer or are having trouble discovering possibilities in the present market, this might be a wise decision.Ultimately, your decision should align with your long-term goals, risk tolerance, and local market dynamics.

Hit that goal and then go on to the next one.

And its very common these days if your putting minimum down which it sounds like you did to have negative cash flow the first few years..

It would be easier (i.e combining capital) and nice to have a common goal but I’m not sure if it’s advisable if my spouse’s mindset isn’t as investment oriented
