Prioritize quality.

I highly prioritize location, I avoid HOA, and with STRs I likely have no leverage(personal pref).

Should I prioritize brick over wood? 

I'd like to know what business is teaching that out there.”Unfortunately, we see the buy real estate at any cost and at any risk mentality on this board all the time.

Don't let the mental barrier keep you from going into commercial. 

By prioritizing thorough analysis and strategic decision-making, property managers can foster positive relationships, maintain high occupancy rates, and ultimately enhance the value and desirability of the properties under their management.

That kind of mentality is still alive and well in many lending institutions; even those that offer DSCR loans. 

Hey @Gulliver R.In addition to the points mentioned above, booking.com usually prioritizes properties/hotels that pay higher commissions. 

This can be appealing for buyers who are handy or looking to invest in a fixer-upper.Priority for Owner-Occupants: HUD prioritizes bids from owner-occupant buyers during the initial bidding period, giving them a better chance of securing the property before investors.

I'm taking this all very slow and using the walk, crawl, run mentality and waiting on the down turn to find better deals.
