Hi Nico,Thank you for your post, You mentioned that hiring a few virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call has been effective, and that text messaging is also performing decently,I specialize in identifying and revitalizing unique properties—those that are not typical, for example, I recently spotted a triangle-shaped property that has the potential to be transformed into something beautiful and valuable, either for living or resale, Could you please share your approach and any guidance you might have on the process of using virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call and the text messaging strategies that have been effective for you?

I could also just do a straight arbitrage/master lease but prefer the co-host model as I see it as more equitable and disperses risk and reward more evenly between myself as the co-host and the syndication LLC as the property owner.

These properties are in the B to A class range, 2002 built so this is the first time needing an AC system replacement.I am curious what everyones thoughts are here, would you go with the nicer system since you will have the property long-term, or is the $1,000 cost difference too steep for you?

That's terrible, considering I can get a CD for 4% for 10 years, or an annuity at 6% for 10 years.Management companies want 20%, and property taxes and home insurance keep rising, considering I have no homestead exemption, so I am capped at 10%, not at 3%, and home insurance can do what it wants.Could someone please tell me where I am wrong, because in this case, it does not seem that this real estate is a good investment at all.
