Thank you, BP, for having this conversation available for newbies!

I can start using house and property after we have met and start the mental conversion from a home to a commodity then.

but I can recommend this: Be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts for some of the topics you are knowledgeable about, or other topics that interest you (like wholesale, Virginia, Landlord, etc ) so you'll be notified that those words were mentioned in the forums and can jump into those conversations!

Otherwise, here's a search for long island on the site, where you can find people and conversations.

My favorite line right now is, "if I could get anywhere close to what the book says when I sell them-I would be so rich that I would be retired in Jamaica right now and we would NOT be having this conversation!"

Here are my estimated numbers:$5,000 capital improvement$50/mth or $600/year in additional cashflow$50/mth or $600/year in reduced gas billCash-on-cash return of 24% ($1200/$5000) Appreciation based on 8% cap rate is an additional $15kMy question is this: Why is no one making this upgrade/conversion?

and be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts for words like "Louisiana" or "rent to own" so you can pop into the conversations that matter to you!

There are a few other regulations but from what I’ve read and the conversations I have had Rockaway and Tillamook are not currently limiting STR supply like Lincoln City or even Pacific City.

I want nothing from you but a nice conversation.

It’s not sexy, but if you call and take detailed notes of all of your conversations …you will develop a baseline knowledge to expand on which will only help you in estimations!
