@V.G Jason I didn't think you would continue to comment on this post, but since you did, I consider it fair game. 

Once that amount is reached, then continue setting aside cash for the next investment purchase. 

Another thought if you have already been in the house for a year is to continue to work on it, add more value and then sell it after two years so you can avoid the capital gains.

This allowed me to get a construction loan to repair the other buildings and repay my investment into the property.

We've seen the rental market soften here in the greater SD area as whole, prices may continue to soften towards the end of the year. 

STRs continue to be a scapegoat for a lot of the housing affordability issues in Denver, Colorado Springs and elsewhere in the state, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone brought it up again. 

Networking plays a crucial role in this industry and remember to keep learning continuously.

Yet they still continued to raise funds for NCM even though it was a losing venture. 

And then you continue to find ways to add value to property.Best of luck

I think the unsuccessful and struggling units who have not jumped ship yet will continue to do so, leading to less supply, increasing demand, and a better year for the successful units.
