Purchase price: $155,000 Cash invested: $40,000Our Cabana condo in Carolina Beach operates as a STR through Airbnb, VRBO, Booking and Google. 

The biggest drawback I am having is calculating cost for repairs & finding a reputable contractor for a fair price - I know nothing about renovations right now.  

Purchase price: $118,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This is a single family property this is rented by the room.

You inspect, you may need to negotiate repairs or price changes based on your findings, the bank appraises it to ensure they can underwrite the loan, then you close.If you find yourself anxiously waiting, you can do what the vast majority of investors never do: educate yourself on how to manage a rental.

I believe that you need to teach people how to treat you and I already made the mistake of texting with them initially and now am paying the price by having to respond to texts via email.

When evaluating property management services, pricing is often a primary consideration.

I have already linked up with some Realtors based in Indiana and have property searches going, but I want to be sure I am set to submit offers when the opportunity arises.
