I started my STR with my Pool as is and this year added a Pool Heater (unfortunately the pool is only operational during the summer months).The only other thing to consider and it really depends on the condition of the pool, you could possibly delay on restoring it for now.

To facilitate an informed decision regarding my suitability for the role, I would like to propose starting with a trial period which would allow you to evaluate my performance and see firsthand how effectively I manage properties remotely.Thank You.

I am looking to take that step and start to gain experience. 

I agree that totally remodeled kitchens aren't always necessary. 

I am also concerned that when the economy starts to weaken, the more rural areas will get even more challenging.  

Not sure if my response is still relevant - I've also started receiving mail promos from attorneys.

My end goal is to start investing myself.

Here's my #1 dissatisfier in dealing with agents: Most have NO idea how to evaluate investment properties.I HATE when agents bring me a so-called "deal" without having first determined whether it actually makes sense financially.Then, when I do run the numbers and calculate a cash flow of $50/mo and a cash-on-cash return of 3%, I feel violated, like my time has been totally wasted.And, that's the last "deal" I'll ever consider from that agent!

Good afternoon everyone, I am 21 years old and interested in starting my real estate investing journey.

Please help a first timer who is just starting to learn about tax lien certificates and has a bit of interest.
