Now they wont give us our money back even though they are the ones who changed their metrics on lending after approving us.

@Zeina Awad great question and one that we have helped many new investors like yourself answer.

Detroit/Flint are gives great return in good neighbourhoods if one has the right team on the ground, More then willing to share why we are investing there and how we do it safely

Is anyone using this app (or other ones) to track their time and activities?

I think the right investor would do 2 units long term one unit short term. this strategy allows you the greatest flexibility. we are also developing an extended stay hotel that's 58 rooms. the size of the average room in that is 216 square feet and rents for a target $80 per night. our development cost per room is 100k per room with hard construction. the smaller you go the more money you make. if I was to suggest anything it would be to focus on the smaller part of the market and on multiple unit dwellings and finding and identifying markets that meet similar numbers. that will probably be midwest markets.

You want enough so that a potential law suit would go away if the insurance paid out.Best thing is to highly maintain your property and treat guests with respect so that no one would ever want to sue you.

We all know one of the advantages of investing in real estate is the tax benefits.

Depending on what type of investor you are what your goals are you will learn more from the forum than from their bootcamp- which if it only proffers one investment strategy really is not worth the money.  

The unit SF is one component of its size, but then we will sometimes add exclusive use common areas  as well as a pro-rated allocation of the common area.

This is messy, but try to bear with me:I have two Stessa Accounts: one for my personal properties(account "S1") and another for properties held in a partnership (account "S2").
