At least I would have something to offer when calling, instead of just bugging people for information.I have a coach right now and he's encouraging me to create a buyers list first, then go and find the deals that they want. 

Thanks for the encouraging post👍.

The quality of the Lincoln District does indeed vary dramatically street by street, and I would encourage you to drive around during both day and night to observe.

On a side note, I would just encourage to browse Airbnb as a "guest" and look for properties like what you are offering.

Has anyone used Lodgable for managing properties across multiple platforms?

It sounds good, but in practice all-performance fees encourage excessive risk-taking because the promote structure disproportionately rewards the manager for each extra bit of return versus the investor.

I had a glass of wine with one couple a few years back he had just sold his business for multi millions and wanted to learn how to flip houses and thought the course would be the beset way to go about it.but then there are those that run up credit cards to do it and I believe that's a fool hardy thing to do and if there is anything I disapprove of the teaching industry is how they encourage that.but then I look at hewlit Packard  started with a 15k loan and a garage in Palo Alto.. 

Hey thanks for the encouragement and great input!

So whatever you choose to do, I would encourage you to connect with local investors in your preferred market and see if you can partner up with them somehow so that you can learn how to invest successfully in that particular market. 

From that point forward, I encourage my tenants to smoke in bed.
