Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.I've been investing in the industry since 2007 and spend the better part of the last 3 years patiently waiting for market fundamentals to improve which we believe they have and should have some opportunities in the near future.

I can REFI when rates get low again- but there is no telling how long that will be and it costs 5-10k to refi..

I checked out the website and was interested but cautious do to the "free" or $5.00 monthly levels. 

Right now only about 1-2% of my revenue comes from GVR.I can imagine GVR becoming pay-to-play and you having to spend money to gain traffic from it at some point, but if you are working with a PMS that offers that integration for free (shameless plug of Hospitable.com 😉 full disclosure, I work there) then right now any traffic or bookings you do get are a great bonus!

For sophisticated sellers with highly marketed deals, invest extra time in thorough due diligence.Next, assess the property's condition and estimate renovation costs.

You are looking for a specific product and you have a situation that creates more liability for a lender, so it's going to be more costly no matter how you slice it. 

The high PM costs can absolutely be justified. 

It's a free resource that matches you with top property managers in your area.

I have about 25000 saved up and I'm living at home for free how much of that should I spend on a property or save.How does someone truly manage a property "effectively" from a distance? 

I recently had one property get near $50k in improvements and it cost me $2,500. if that ain't ROI I don't know what is.
