That includes the inspection and a final walk of the property before closing - of the property delivered to you as "vacant in possession." 

By the time, my primary residence is about to get delivered there is also a change in credit so my loan approval criterion may change drastically.

Including real estate investment into their long term security is the driver for getting in to this! 

I haven't decided which way to go, but the ability to advertise will likely not be the driver behind the decision for me.

I discovered that the duplex was located in a pretty sketchy neighborhood and I had no confidence that the property could deliver on the proposed rental income the seller said it was bringing in.

How are you all dealing with the wait times on new materials, appliances (especially; HD, Costco, Best Buy and more) are delivering after 4 to 6 weeks.

Since money is temporary.We basically shut down the economy to a stand still and now that we are cranking the economy open and there are things that we need to consider as risk.For me the lumber costs more and the lack of resources to deliver impacted me. 

I start to looking for single family properties which can be delivered vacant to do STR.

Since owning an STR is now in vogue and even your uber driver is talking about it, look out:  Construction will reach the point where supply meets and exceeds demand.
