Oh I agree with you if that rent will be a business income to live on vs just an unrealized gain.

For example, $50,000 loan at 10% paid out evenly over 10 years.Like I said, super new to this part of the business, so trying to wrap my head (and spreadsheets) around it.

I’m looking to network with people that help asset manage multi family apartment complexes.My business partner and I have grown to almost 300 units.

Self management works if you are local and can separate emotion from business.

I am actively expanding my STR consulting business!

But it is my opinion you should try Airbnb, VRBO, booking.com and FlipKey and give it a chance to see if it is adding business.

I am currently a student at Florida International University, studying International Business.

Admittedly, I am not one that typically finds paid mentorship very valuable, but I also respect that my degree is in business with a focus on real estate, and my first job out of college was in real estate (so it is a little hard for me to take my 20 yrs of knowledge and rewind it to try to view mentors from a completely fresh lens).A couple points: I view mentors, especially these expensive ones as a catch-22. 

Hey everyone,I'm looking to get started in the short-term rental business and could really use some advice.

First two deals were cash, we were running business out of the locations and had the opprotunity to buy.. no brainer :)
