A wise investor will not try to get rich quick with shortcuts.

I’m wondering if there’s a way to have them fill out a quick survey or do I just maintain a standard text message with questions?  

@Tiffany MilanI've told the story of our first SFR rental deal a number of times on BP -- a friend came to us needing to sell quickly and we bought a working property with a tenant in place at a great price.

Sold quickly.

This was a great project, we sold it quickly.

Sold very quickly for more than our original flip next door.

We are considering picking up our 3rd STR via a LO as a way to get a property quickly vs. waiting to accumuluate the 20% down payment required to finance.My questions is, since I would not be the owner on the deed, would I have issues with obtaining a business license to operate a STR and pay the hotel/motel and sales taxes or would I need to involve the owner of the property?

I already politely declined attending but I agree with some statements above that it’s good business and we (tenants and I) are on a closer interaction platform (I’m usually in the neighborhood, quickly address any issues that come up which are minimal) and potentially in the future they will rent longer or purchase a home from me.

Otherwise I can always consult the Land Register for my province but each search costs 1$, which can add up quickly.

I’m not in your area but I would suggest think long term relationship rather than quick money.
