In short, we're not certain we'll stay here forever.

Our unit is fairly small and it's in a neighborhood we don't see ourselves in for forever, but it's worth it for us as a long term investment.

I am also quite handy and did a complete reno on my house so I can leverage my time for the first deal but the goal would be to not do it forever of course...3.

I know markets are a bit crazy right now, but I will forever be looking for a little mountain SFR to escape to/rent out!

A lot of people that sell their own properties tend to try and sell them way too high, they sit on the market for forever, and then they end up using a realtor in the end.

Randy I do look at houses that sold, i see alot that took 1 to 6 month to sell or rent, so basically i need to setup a plan that it probably will not sell or rent for at least 5 months of reserves on hand which i have to pay in mortgage,  dont have much money to let the property just sit forever i will either sell or flip it, if the price of the property is over 200k , obviously i cant rent it out cause rent will not cover the mortgage,  so i must flip/sell it

SEO is going to take the longest to get results, and as many here know, if you get a bad SEO, they will do nothing and drag you on forever, telling you 'it takes time'.Adwords gives you instant results (good or bad depending on the practitioner you hire).I've never done a single piece of direct mail in my life, so I'm speaking from zero experience when I say that direct mail seems to allow you to target a specific farm area, and keep hitting it until you get a bite.

Because of that you'll get a good deal eventually bc we don't love forever, if you know what I mean.

Some management companies take forever.

Many forget this and treat it like it’s a ‘forever’ decision with no turning back.
