I am starting to build out a site to help with an agent's lead collection and online brand.

Feel free to reach out of you have any other questions or need some help finding a good investment. - Chris Kersey 

We currently own the lot it would sit on free and clear in city limits.

Many thanks for your reply Jonathan, yeah i see lots of STR online, just wanna be sure about regulations.

If anyone has suggestions for such areas, please feel free to advise!

For example, I think we are late cycle, so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or debt free equity).

This is since 1) there's no penalty for age so it doesn't matter when you use it 2) the longer the retirement asset exists the more chance it has to grow tax deferred or tax free 3)if you are retirement age then using your personal assets first will likely place you in the lowest possible tax bracket when you start drawing those funds. 

Part of the agent’s process will be to reach out and find out how much compensation the seller would be able or willing to commit to, versus how much compensation you are responsible for.If there is no buyer broker agreement in place, you are free to do as you wish, however, if you want representation and were hoping the seller will pay your agent, the agent should be the one to reach out to the seller first to make inquiries and secure a compensation agreement with the seller.  

If you have any questions regarding the requirements and qualifications, always feel free to reach out.

By trialing these softwares for a given region before committing to one you can make a direct comparison on data quality.If you are just starting out, then I'd recommend to go free first and extract leads directly from public and/or county websites.
