And management is a LOT more intense, just turnover rates alone!

However, some investors don't mind this strategy if they prefer not to put a lot of liquid in up front and plan to refi out within a few years of closing (which seems to be a great option with the talks of the FED reducing interest rates this year).It really comes down to investing in a growing market, in a good neighborhood & building a great team to support you.

If he must attempt to get the low interest rates of 2021 on this deal, I suggest that he instead look for assumable loans.

Once you are an experienced investor and know rental rates and costs you can provide value to clients. 

I don't technically need to have one to get promoted, but the promotion rate with a graduate degree is significantly higher than without.

If I accept the suggested pricing opportunities it could drop my rates by $100 / night in some cases.
