Singles put you in the game!!

Hey BP Community.I have been in the RE game for around 5 years and it's going really well.I own 5 properties that equal 9 units now that I rent out furnished and usually shorter term (1-4 months).I manage the places myself and charge pretty high rents since its shorter term and furnished.I pay for all utilities, and wifi etc. 

Find the office that has plenty of donuts and coffee and lots of people hanging around bs'ing about last night's game, or how their one-and-only contract fell out and are ready to pounce on any breathing body that comes through the door.  

I haven't been motivated in real estate but I recently got remotivated and ready to get back in the game.

It is a great and easy to use platform for both myself and my tenants.

I'm new to the game .

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.
