Perhaps sharing a report on click-thru rates of our listing pics to enable hosts to make their own decisions would have been a better use of their time. 

Lots of great meetups here as well if you'd like to come out in person and meet many of the top players in person.

A reduced down payment while using an FHA loan for house purchase may enable greater money for upcoming costs or investments.

Great way to scale it up. where do you go to get a lists Propstream, LeadSherpa, The Share Group, even the big residential RE players like REDX and Vulcan7 have absentee owners.

Please feel free to comment on my post and refer seminars, forums, or books that would enable my understanding of how to become a successful real estate investor. 

Moreover, while there is currently a lot of hype around seller financing and low and no money-down investment strategies, the reality is you need capital to be a player in the space.

Once we start talking about bigger pieces of land that that woulud appear to developers (i.e. homebuilders or developers who do self storage, medical office, industrial, retail/commercial) then I usually can market to them without necessarily having to put on the market, because I know who the players are in SoCal, and that helps especially when seller doesn't want to do an exclusive listing, but will let you bring offers off market.But in general, for random pieces of land that aren't necessarily for the big developers/builders, you certainly need to put it on the market. 

Selling the property offers a significant cash sum, enabling you to potentially diversify your STR portfolio by purchasing multiple properties outright, fostering a more passive income stream.

This would enable us to expand the list of potential properties, increase the odds of winning auctions, and still generate a similar sized profits.
