Would you build a portfolio with long term rentals prior to investing in short term rentals, or would you use short term rental opportunities for quicker profit gain to expand on purchases of long term rentals.

I have already learned a ton from the process and at the end of the day if one or more of these providers stands out then I will continue to build with them.  

I was told that homeless/squatters got access into the building somehow and they were seen by an agent who was touring property for their buyer.

Currently, the change is up $3500/yr and laying a 10k deductible on each building.

My issue is that I need to take out at least 85-90% to be able to build another property and placing a mortgage on this one.

We’re one ofthe few property managers that require W-2’s and a bank statement and we go way beyond the traditional, “income must =3x rent” qualifier.Below is more information about what our Applications Department does to screen applicants and find the best tenantspossible for your property.Required InfoWe require the following from each applicant over the age of 18, that is not a dependent of anotherapplicant (as evidenced on a tax return):Copy of acceptable state picture IDRecent YTD paystubRecent W-2Recent Bank Statement, all pages, no info blacked outRecent tax return if self-employedApplicants are often slow about turning this information in, asking us why we need it and then takingseveral days to submit.

Realtors, investors, future investors, lenders, wholesalers etc...I want to start investing eventually, it'll be easier with a team.Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen, and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

My goal is to build a large enough portfolio to live off of (I'm still in college).

I do have an empty lot next to my current SFH , doing nothing (but costing me money to mow :)) my thought was to build a detached guest cottage to serve as an overflow for guests or it could also serve as a seasonal / monthly rental.

In my experience the basics for a functional RE based CRM are:Custom Fields for Data Objects (Leads, Prospects, Applications, Buildings, Units, etc...)A Screening Engine (background/credit checks, employment verification, etc)Online Rental Application (this should automatically run the application through screening)Ability to mass email/sms leads and tenants to provide informationSurveys/Inspection formsI've been building real estate CRM tools for years.
