Don’t be distracted by people with other plans and ways.

@Shaylynn O'LearyI think I may have posted this in response to you in another thread a while back, but here goes again.If you pick a random "low cost" market like the ones you named, don't know anyone there, don't set up a network, buy random properties, and turn them over to people you've never met to manage, you will most likely lose money. 

I think once you have 10 or more, it's probably smart to have your own people. 

I would not get advice on this from people here also realize a LLC in California has some really hefty fees per year so something to consider 

If times get financially difficult will people stop eating or will they stop going to the doctor (unless its an emergency)?

And what you've also seen is people that were renting 3 bedroom cabins are now deciding they can get by with the smaller one and two bedroom cabins. 

Remember, people only think of lies on the surface level, if you ask a few specific questions about their process you can see if they're BSing you or not.

Just curious what people have ran across to build these days?

Many people miss out on things like this because they simply are not aware of these options.

Well, this my opinion, if you like unpredictability, constant change and people/contractors with no regards to you or your property then "YES" flips and STRs are the way to go...LOL....I love it!!!
