When you do renovate, what are the long-term plans with it to have it stand out in such a popular market?

No good answer.My automated Vrbo message asks for a DL and confirmation of number of guests plus any pets.

Is anyone here looking into opportunities in Markets in Europe (Portugal, Spain, etc)?

Hi @Kathleen Park - In my opinion, any type of HOA fee should be paid for by the housing provider, but if you want to account for it in the rent (if the market allows), then increase the rent by $100.What does this TAP program do, and what's the purpose of it?

Quite often I see the seller requiring some type of downpayment, with interest only payments (usually higher than market rates) for X years, with a balloon payment due at the end of the term. 

Would it make sense to save up money to buy something cash, finance, wait for market to cool down, etc.

RESI agents have to focus on marketing themselves first and foremost becasue in this market listings are money in the bank plain and simple. 

We find flip deals in the Reno, NV area that are on market and you can sometimes even have inspections done.

@Yejin Mun, I would say it depends on your market. 1.

I have analyzed a few deals in the current market, but I have not been able to find a single one that will produce a decent cashflow.
