There's a local STR pro that buys large, luxury homes and rents them STR as event homes for the Festivals, Tennis tourney, weddings, etc.

The old adage "location, location, location" rings true in this game.  

Hi, Joelthat is great sometimes this is what you have to do, just take action, my phone is ringing offthe hook, everyone wants my deals. 

I'm getting married in July and my fiance and I have set a goal to buy our first rental property within our first year of marriage as our "Anniversary/wedding gift" to ourselves.

One of my close friends (best man at my wedding) have me $30k as a gift.

Came across this in "Lessons of History" that couldn't ring more true: "Perhaps it is one secret of their (the wealthy) power that, having studied the fluctuations of prices, they know that history is inflationary, and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard"Put that capital to work!

Hey Alan Howard,  There is a meetup in Battle Creek on Wed evenings. 

Including only things that are "In Play" investmentwise.Leaving things out such as your wife's wedding ring, jewelry, your personal home(s), personal vehicle(s), boat, snowmobile, camper, personal cash reserves, etc...It depends on what you want to see decisionwise.Good Luck!

If your side of the deal is good, I'm sure you could find a buyer that rings bells as trustworthy to you.

I have replumbed many homes in PEX it is the hot ticket, I recently purchased a Propress for crimping copper and also got the jaws for F1807 Pex rings, but i see Ryobi now has a cordless pinch ring tool for a reasonable price. https://www.ryobitools.com/power-tools/products/de...
