Just look at all the posts by young people asking about the best Apps to run STRs, best YT videos for RE investing, etc.

This is my second House Hack (HH#1 purchased 13 months ago) with a great layout in a popular area.

Video use and pictures are becoming so critical.Leo had some good things to say but I would not over-prepare many units that rent by the room  Test them out until you totally commit. 

I watch YouTube videos about real estate and entrepreneurship. 

Buy books, listen to podcasts, watch videos, attend REIA meetings, go through online forums etc.

Yes, It is a very popular and desirable location, Location is a Big factor, but it all depends on how you advertise it too!

As you can see.. the "reviews" tab is not popular at all.

Our hopes are to sell the units individually as the area has very little in the way of starter home priced properties, but is extremely popular because of the excellent school district and high quality community.We are considering flipping the standard "one road" site plan and instead running a one-way street around the back of the units and facing them all into a common green space (pocket neighborhood style).

I'm looking for a video intercom/door entry system for a 4 family that in ,addition to the obvious doorbell function, will allow them to buzz package deliveries into the common area from anywhere using their phone.

Like magic the money shows up each month in your bank account.This is passive investing, and why it's so popular, anyone can do it quickly without experience, because you are relying on the experience of others and able to do it from a distance and it gets you in the game.  ***** BIG DISCLAIMER**** passive investing doesn't mean "fall asleep and no responsibility investing".
