The seller signed a contract that MIGHT have said “if anyone that looked at the house while we have this contract ends up buying your home you owe me a commission.”  

In my personal opinion, MF is so competitive and I have be focusing solely in hotels so I feel it is a strong asset class.  

Personally, I believe there are much better ways to invest in RE, even with limited knowledge or bandwidth. 

Or even riskier: a commercial balloon loan with a high interest rate and a personal guarantee that is due IN FULL after 5 years!

If all goes well, I'll have another under contract this week.

You are not the first person to bring this up.

It seems like a rural setting is about the only place a person could place one. 

How do I track my material hours on my investment property in order to take depreciated losses against my W2 income.What is the best way to track my hours to make sure I get to 100 hours and more then anyone other person involved in the STR?

so wherever you can be hands-on / in person is best. 

Hi I currently got under contract for a hybrid deal in 44120.
