Sometimes you can partner with builders and share the profit.

Excited to learn and love the idea of partnering with a seasoned investor for a few deals sharing profits 50/50 if anyone is interested.  

After all, are we landlords really the benevolent people you describe as "providing housing," as if we consciously prioritize the service over the profit?

It was saying due to rising construction costs that a minimum point of profitability is developers need to hit at least 2,000 rent in month per door to make it work otherwise they do not build.Suburban communities tend to not want new apartments around anyways.

Hopefully they have another deal in the pipeline to pay their bills again next month..This notion that all agents are out there crushing it and screwing people out of profit or equity return has got to stop.

I'd like to compile a resource of strategies on self-managing STR's to maximize profits.

Check to see if any major expense items are coming up, and they have sufficient reserves. 

By the time it makes it to the Clifton MLS your profit margins are thin.  

Majoring in Finance, I returned home to complete my Bachelors Degree at California State University Bakersfield.With my degree in hand I wanted to extend my reach in the community so I started my Real Estate company Synergy Real Estate in January 2016.

Or if the tenant has some major issue or gets litigious.
