You are right "real estate goes up", but I'm not going to decide if a deal is good or not based on that general sentiment.

Hi everyone, if you're an STR owner in Vermont or looking to buy one in Vermont, I wanted to share that the state's Ways and Means Committee is considering imposing a new 10% tax that would be on top of the tourist room and board tax that already exists.

Lenders won't allow someone who got a deal for under market value and did little to no work to cash out based on appraised value.

Every tenant is different, how would you know how much insurance they would want or do you just do a "base" amount so they have basic coverage ?

@Whitney LaresI am also based in California and invest out of state in Jacksonville FL. 

I prefer to look at returns based on long-term expenses.

I am a Brazilian Realtor based in Raleigh North Carolina I am also licensed in Massachusetts and wanted to give a shout out to everyone on here in the BiggerPockets community and see If I can network and chat with you all!

For example I have a customer in Zurich who needs a mattress and adjustable base that only exists in the USA and they don't want to pay retail pricing.I wish I knew how to do deals like this well with RE and had all the contacts.

My offer is usually based on his original estimate of the cost of repairs.

Hi Maria, I'm based in central CT.
