Understand your short term and long term goals.

Which based on the gnashing of (mostly “frugal” REI) teeth, was the lowest in the industry (for most of you, especially with multiple, active accounts).I have my IRA, HSA, and CESA accounts (more on Solo’s shortly) with Quest.

I want a real estate agent with a hustler's mentality, who knows the neighborhoods, studies appreciation and deal analysis already, understands short-term rentals, and is potentially looking to be a scalable partner with me.

Providing a starter supply of items like laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and toiletries is common practice and works well for short stays.

The fund raised $200 million in short order with few sources of deal flow 5.

That is amazing -Where did you manage to double the value on an 8 unit in a short period of time 

If the deal goes south and you have next to zero money in the deal, selling a short sale or walking isn't as risky for you since you aren't losing much.

I will DM you shortly. 

If anything, at least wait a year so you don't pay short-term capital gains on the sale of the property.I need to find some more deals like that here in Chicago...where in Houston was this property?

No...there are many reasons why installing it over the carpet will prove to be a nightmare in a relatively short period.
