I'm looking for long-term investment opportunities in growing market and am excited to build my portfolio.Outside of real estate, I enjoy surfing, live music, and traveling.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

@Johana Villamil yeah, I'm confused too...why are we talking to them about how long you will own a property?  

The next step would be small clams court.I would probably also announce the name of the company, as long as what you say is truthful you will have no problems, but you will save others from this type of problem with that property manager. 

Efficient negotiations secured the property for $158,000 on favorable terms.

Through efficient negotiations, we secured the property for $196,000 on favorable terms.

You ask them what their terms are beforehand also and get it in writing.

@Cameron GoeddeKind of depends on what you want to do and what your long term plan is. 

I've had NO interest in it, not even to inquire about when it will be furnished.My question is this: Do I take Section 8 or a lower rent for a year or so, and break even (the long term rent I could get would have me break even)?

Engaging with the community through forums and local meetups can also provide valuable insights and support from experienced investors.By setting clear objectives, you can create a roadmap that guides your decision-making process and keeps you focused on your ultimate aspirations.
