@Jeremy H.It’s definitely high risk for people who have no experience running a business.If you don t know anything about managing and marketing STVRs stick to LTRs.

If the rent is high enough to make a rehab and cash out refi makes sense, then you can go that route.

This might be a little weird but I came across the post because I'm looking for information about REIReply.REIReply is a real estate marketing system built on Go High Level's white-label plan.And I use and love GHL because it's more than just a CRM BUT it's not specifically built for real estate investors.That's where a company like REIReply might come in.You see, several digital marketing companies use GHL to run their businesses and many of them, my company included, have developed powerful follow-up systems.However, the problem is that GHL is only as good as the templates, campaigns, etc that are built within the system.While I have almost 20 years of digital marketing experience and can build effective and powerful campaigns for me and my clients, I don't have nearly as much experience in real estate.Ergo, I'm considering REIReply.If they are as good with real estate marketing as I am with my company's marketing, they have a killer deal.

Especially nowadays with the cost of capital so high it makes even more sense to cause you're getting 4-5% to hold it, and not having to loan it at 10% when you're stuck.
