This part does not come easy for me but I am trying my best to figure how to spot a good deal. 

It makes it difficult to do simple maintenance, repairs, cleaning, etc.If you don't have a ton of reserves, I always think it's a good rule of thumb to have between 4-6 months mortgage in savings as you're trying to figure out a rhythm.

Keep an open mind and try to meet everyone at these meetings.

It is a very high cost of living and my landlord has been renting out the triplex for a little below market value for the past few years, however he is going to be selling the property ( all three units)  (This area is considered very nice and "shouldn't" depreciate in value. )I have been trying to deep dive into bigger pockets, reading bigger pocket books, watching videos but  a lot of the resources talk about multi-family properties as purely renting out all units and not actually living in one of the units. 

If you have to file a claim, and if they try  to deny it ,guess who is going to look stupid, and very liable, since you did what the agent recommended??

i would say it depends on the overall investment strategy. im not really familiar with STR rentals in your area. personally i like the long term rentals, especially if you are trying to be hands off. we have two STR's, one we manage ourselves in FL and the other in Gatlingburg which is managed by a company. even with an STR rental company, i still find myself managing the manager. both require work and are by no means passive. long term (to me) is nice given time investment. hope this helps. 

Hi guys I'm thinking about trying out direct mail for lead generation in my wholesaling business.

In order to keep him happy, I may try to give him a few more dollars per foot.

Don’t try to do this on your own, Lynn.

I've gone ahead and made you a Pro Member for the next month so you can try it out.
