Hello,I’m currently investing in some units in the village of Sagres (Algarve) and prior to this process, I’ve done a market analysis for the short term rental market, which I have in mind for my properties.

While this analysis is certainly important, investors in metro areas cannot ignore the upfront time and money required to get an STR up and running.In analyzing a potential STR investment in a metro area, include these estimates as upfront costs (these are strictly furnishing expenses, not including any rehab work):- Living Room: $2k⠀⠀- Dining Room: $700⠀- Kitchen: $750⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀- Bedroom: $1.5k⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀- Bathroom: $300⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You can certainly furnish a STR for more or less, but these are numbers I try to stick to in putting together a nicely furnished rental that includes personal touches and local flair.If you have any questions about STR investing, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Last week she sent a text message to my wife asking, if the apartment management gets in touch with me shortly would I make sure I tell them she has been paying rent of $900 per month for the last year or so.

You could take a picture of it and text it to the correct recipient as evidence it's there and that you've not touched it, just in case it goes missing.

Hi all! I havent posted in awhile due to rehabs, but I have had the opportunity lately to settle and start picking up more property. Another landlord in the area wants to sell all 7 of his properties, for 16 more unit...

Successful wholesalers spend $10,000 per month on targeted advertising and marketing, especially SEO and SEM and website technology, as well as social media, texting, robo calls, etc.

With that said if you want a macro analysis of those area- The median sold price in North Aurora and Elgin have gone up over 14% over the past year.

To start out, I am analyzing these areas for property analysis. 

I'm a newby and I'm trudging through paralysis by analysis.

When you've nailed your locations and found the (potential) properties, dig deep into the ideas that you have - Look at long/short term rent prices in those areas (competitor analysis), try to get some numbers about tourism to see whether an AirBNB even pays off (customer analysis), make sure there are reliable management companies around, how those properties could be financed, etc.3.
