I've been approached by a couple of sober living facilities and would perhaps prefer an independent living provider if possible (with 4 units in Cape Coral it's categorized as commercial so all ADA requirements, fire safety, etc. have been provided).

This community’s a great place to learn and share, so you’re in the right spot.

I have an investor with a property in Pottstown that has done pretty well, but I would call it a huge appreciation play.

I've had negative experiences with a bad general contractor and a non-paying renter (leading to an eviction), so I'm being extra cautious in selecting the right lender this time.Could anyone recommend a trustworthy lender in the Los Angeles area who can guide me through this difficult time?

With so many "experts" on Section 8 pushing courses out there right now I was tempted to get into Section 8 rentals.

I am coming to the event to learn (always be learning---) and to expand my network  (always be expanding)---Reply to me here so we can connect in "Connect in Cancun"!!! 

I’d appreciate some feedback on my current approach and advice if any.Here’s what I’ve done so far:Pre-Approval: I’ve secured a pre-approval amount and interest rate from an online mortgage lender.Property Analysis: I’m using the mortgage and STR calculators from BiggerPockets to assess the financials for potential properties.Neighborhood Research: I’ve been exploring different neighborhoods using Niche to get insights into schools, safety, and livability.AirDNA: I’m considering subscribing to AirDNA for data on occupancy rates and rental income estimates.Questions:Is AirDNA worth the investment for STR data?

It is also took me a solid hour+ on a 3 way call with the lender to get the Escrow figured out, and I still got Cancellation nastygrams in the mail afterwards.

Thanks so much for the advice - greatly appreciated!

So a CRM at $195/mo is the cheapest part.
