There deffenetly is $350k houses you could flip and sell for $400, but once you get into  the $500k-$700k, people would  rather have a brand new custom home.

Makita never came up in the conversation, however I noticed them here and there on jobs and their customers seem to like them.

What do customers want?

Market your property listings, benefit from custom offers, make use of tenant screening, and collect rent online if you’re a landlord.

Lately, I have been traveling a lot so I'm rarely home nowadays but I was wondering if I were to put my condo's 1 bedroom as a private room on Airbnb and give the customer access to everything in the unit except my own room, do I need an LLC?

Then you'll have an analysis tool you fully understand that you know how to customize for your own needs.

Yes, I would be devastated as a customer to lose all my personal belongings.

As a business, you have to ask "What payment method will my customer be using?"

@Joseph Eversman I grew up in those areas and lived in Morgantown WV and Pittsburgh through much of my 20s and 30s....my perception is that most of the areas you mentioned (south of Pittsburgh) have little appreciation (and risk of depreciation), so if your goal is long term appreciation, those markets probably won't perform very well. ....either way, you'll probably want to look into the relevant market data on appreciation, jobs, population, etc. to make sure......if you're willing to go as far south as WV, I'd suggest checking out Morgantown, or going north to Pittsburgh.

Im seriously considering a duplex, I truly dont think we would jeopardize his reputation by taking advantage of his customers.
