For the second time, I've had a guest cancel a reservation, initiating a refunding through my payment provider that brings with it significant transfer fees because Booking.com heavily promotes their "book for free, pay on arrival" policy, which is not aligned to my management platform policy.

Here’s an example, I just took a trip across the country, and decided to visit some “popular“ OOS investment neighborhoods that are promoted here on BP.

Also im pretty sure he promotes section 8 rentals and gives you a story with rose colored glasses.

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

Most of the regular posters here on Bigger Pockets have a negative view of Sub2, especially after a couple of individuals spammed the site to promote their training.There was already a negative view of Sub2 on Bigger Pockets due to most of the regular posters did their deals in a different manner therefore, as is human nature anything out of our own personal preference can look mighty sinister. 

Look at other rentals in the area and see not only how they are advertising or promoting online but also the inside and outside of the rental so you can create a similar environment to try to replicate the same results.

Which should be one-on-one.GROUP 1: Not tax strategies, but for some reason often promoted as suchOrganize your records.

Well, the nay-sayers are bound and determined to promote their viewpoint, no matter how much the evidence contradicts them.

I haven’t seen any longer term studies done, only promotional info when the RE market was generally rising.  

Cash flow is constantly promoted and pushed, and often, the personalities lack long-term experience, so they can't talk about the best reasons we should be investing.
