I can tell you financing for a condotel is a whole different ball game and dealing with the HOA can sometimes be a challenge.

We've done very well in most--military brings a strength and diversity to Colorado Springs, Arlington, and San Antonio but definitely are not the only game in town. 

If you invest in a privately-held and self-managed residential portfolio of C-class single-family and small multifamily, and you believe you're going to make your money off cash-flow, that is, relentlessly maximizing your take from your tenants, you're already losing sight of what's important in the game.

This is a guessing game don't know what you have going on to help.

Maybe the game is to find old abandoned dilapidated houses to Rehab so I can set the rent myself.I'm not giving up. 

Hi BP - I am new to the real estate game here in Portland, Oregon area. 1) I am looking to purchase my first home in the next 6-9 months and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on how much $$$ to have in savings after purchasing the home (inclusive of down payment, closing cost, etc)?

Like for cleaning feeding tubes, diapering, the air / water dishes for various machines. 

Granted they likely get a ton of these from other investors but it is a numbers game.

No professional photos.Photos not staged properly (clutter, beds poorly made, etc.)Underpriced, especially for events and holidays.None of the small things that folks notice and mention in reviews, such as bedside chargers, noise machines, well stocked kitchen, local coffee & snacks, etc.

Lag time right now is killing the game.
