This has been the most successful model I have seen in real estate.This goes 100% against every guru and investor the past 5 years of get rich quick of buy, rehab, rent and refinance with little money - that video game is out of order so the gurus need to reinvest themselves and they are trying with seller financing and zero down.

I assume if one wanted to 1031 for "rinse and repeat" you'd also be game for that as well. 

@Jenna SchulzeAs a newbie investor with limited capital, I’d invest close to home.Invest in areas you know well.I’ve been in the RE industry since 1978 and people always ask me:What’s the best market to invest in?

I recognize how much work is needed to succeed in this industry, and thanks to the US Army working hard has never been an issue for me.

We did quite well in the Timber game in the 90s Owned many thousands of acres of Timberland during that time its a great industry one of the favorite things I ever did beat the heck out of rental houses LOL

It's all a part of the game. 

@Jake Baker Love the approach of measuring the total offers that you send, if you know your strategy most of the time it is a numbers game no matter the condition of the market. 

Brokers are your best friend as we have the entire industry at the palm of our hand and usually save you time & money.

A simulator/game could really help with that.

Or you want to leave the STR industry?
