Mindy Jensen....THANK YOU....at the time he did the reverse mortgage I didn't agree with the decision; however, after losing half a million dollars in investments, he is at an advantage by having it.

Unlike residential investors, companies make decisions to move HQ's or expand employment that tend to last decades, so high tech growth in Austin is not something that will slow down anytime soon.

One thing I found useful when making the decision of whether or not to invest in the build was to look for AirBnB comps around me 3-4 months out.

These will need replacing now or soon, and this typically costs $8k - $10k I suggest having them camera'ed, here is who we use for that"A prospective buyer should NOT be left hanging after the inspection to make the decision on what is important and what isn't.

It's a concept that's used to help make the decision to acquire a property or not.Let's say you're looking at buying a vacant place for $150K.

I was accused once as a landlord of making my decision based on race and I just don’t need the hassle. 

Hi Christian,Another suggestion for learning how to inspect properties would be to hire an inspector to walk the property with you.I actually just heard an interesting tip from Tarl on this BiggerPockets video at 16:21:Investment Property Inspections & Pre-Purchase Decisions w/ J Scott & Tarl YarberTarl said when he was first starting out, he would hire a home inspector to inspect the property with him and follow them around the house and ask them questions.  

Anything call that has a decision or a follow up event for either party I would text it as a follow up and ask them to confirm. 

The caveat is that they must be active investors with an equal say in the property management decisions.

https://news.gov.bc.ca/release...This is still pretty fresh news with the new BC tenancy changes that came into effect on July 1 2021.I am new to being a landlord and this news does make things a little harder if you have a troublesome tenant.I am wondering what other investors who own in British Columbia think about the changes and will it affect your decisions to do long-term renters vs STR?
