Walking home from work today from the train station listening to a BP Podcast. I see a guy putting up for rent signs on an apartment. I walk past initially but turn around and introduce myself. Long story short, he is...

;)I know Jay is in a unique and enviable place in his life where the ROI is of less importance to him (God bless you, man), but I still say I have a business to run. 

In time you might find one of those niches to really focus on.

Hi @Don KonipolThe mid-term rentals strategy has been working really well for us in the Bay Area to make deals work, there's a lot of demand for it and is proving a nice little niche in the market.

This includes 3 bed bug infestations, 7 gas red tags, a broken window from hell that the first 4 window contractors would not touch and the pane replacement was almost $1k (this window is unique with an absurd fire rating).  

I understand, it may be expensive and very niche category to build one but do you guys think its worth trying or any pros and cons or something in the past was tried on similar lines and failed?

When you get into discussions of tax scenarios and real estate it truly is a personal situation that applies to THAT seller at THAT time for their unique circumstances.

I think offering amenities that have a wow factor and are unique are definitely a huge plus!

The Portland market has been very good to us and has provided a nice landscape to try out different real estate strategies and niches.

For a first-time homebuyer, I determined that the BRRR method via the FHA loan direction was the best financial strategy in my situation.Due to the nature of this loan, the guidelines and regulations to have a solid appraisal and to gain an appropriate value for the property would be a great challenge for us all, and is noted as a obstinate issue in the real estate business: underappraisals.What I found unique about Damon was that, he maneuvered around countless obstacles, from executing an extremely accurate and detailed comparative analysis that eventually brought the final desired value of the home, impeccable negotiation skills that saved me thousands upon thousands of dollars, and what seemed like a never ending supply of ideas that he came up with that passed the rigorous FHA inspection.
