I'm heavily involved in the co-living side of things in the Atlanta market and work a ton with Padsplit.Off the top, nice family oriented neighborhoods are typically a no-go for rent by the room and even more of a no-go if it's in an HOA.Please feel free to shoot me the property address in the DMs and would be happy to provide some feedback!

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

It really comes down to your investment goals and how involved you want to be in the process.

@Bradley MairThe strategy involves buying properties as primary residences, resulting in lower down payments and better cash flow.

But you'd have to be quite involved initially, especially to get access to better SBA lending. 

If they don't, consider involving an attorney.

I’d love to have real estate provide some financial freedom/flexibility and create a portfolio that I could eventually get my kids involved with and pass down to them, but I end up feeling frozen/stuck based on the factors above. 

Since there’s no recorded lien and they weren’t involved during the foreclosure, it sounds like they’re pushing boundaries by attempting to enforce something without proper documentation.

The BRRRR strategy and tax lien investing are both great approaches, especially when you’re getting started and want to maximize your investments.I’m involved in the investment real estate space as well, primarily focusing on new construction duplexes in downtown Indianapolis.

@Zach RumfieldEstimating an ARV involves using public sales data, subscription services, local tax assessor's website, real estate agents, CMA tools, and local appraisers.
