I also like to give tenants as much runway as I can if there is likely going to be a transition because its not convenient to move and nobody wants to be rushed here.  

Greetings,I currently use Anderson Business Advisors as a one stop legal, tax, and accounting firm and am looking to transition away from them.  

I am looking into transitioning into REI with an end goal of building a good size portfolio and replacing my current income (recently around 250k/yr).

It is currently used as a motel, with some rooms rented 30 days as transitional housing. 2021 financials and our business plan show very high cap rate and DSCR.

I aim to get out of this career as I'm not happy in it and I plan for a transition to real estate.

Hope the transition into short term rental goes well.

I was wondering if any experienced real estate agents or investors could spare some advice on the tactic of buying a 3-4 bedroom in the 350k-450k range that we could live in for 3ish years and then; when my job transfers me elsewhere, transition it to being a full-time Airbnb?

Even on the MLS there are deals that need fast closings, arent bankable or can be transitioned to something more profitable by converting porches, garages, basements, etc to additional units or square footage.Deals must be created, not discovered. 

I have a very easy sell to buyer clients if they are looking for a rental as I have intimate knowledge of that side of the market, can help them make informed decisions prior to getting a property under contract and an easy transition into our management services.

If you happen to have any family or friends in a lower cost city, that would make the transition easier.
