@Eric P.We let our guests know that we accept direct bookings in several ways: post-stay text and email follow-up, post cards and business cards displayed in all our properties, giving each property a unique name and promoting it on social media and elsewhere so guests can do a quick Google search on our property name and we appear everywhere.Increasingly, we are seeing even some first-time guests seeing our property name on the big listing sites, then finding us with a Google search and booking directly on their first stay.

I would never try to flip or renovate from OOS or manage alone.If you go with a Turnkey Provider, just make sure they are a TRUE Provider.They should own the property first, renovate it, and manage it after the sale.

I feel like it’s a waaay too good to be true moment, the seller stated that it’s...3/1 home setA $2000 no refundable security fee and then a $775/month He said it’s not for rent and will accept cash offers I’m kinda confused on what the security fee means but figure you guys might know.

Just be careful, because a Heloc functions as a 2nd loan on your property and you can lose your primary if you fail to pay (this is also true if you refi or do an Equity loan and fail to pay).

Yes, this is a true-real life drama.Thank you for your input and suggestions.My business partner presented this to me but I could not offer any direction as her legal counsel is not assisting the family in a manner of resolving the conflict.

Using a 0.0% APR for 15 months credit card towards closing costs. - I am trying to utilize as many financing options as possible so I do not deplete my cash reserves. 

I wanted to switch my method to taking out a mortgage and house hacking it to build wealth through that, but I dont have the time to build my credit (I have since started paying my monthly balance on the student loans and have opened a credit card and am making payments for the full amount)(I have seen noticeable jumps in my score since starting these payments).

My degree is my margin of safety & a high paying skill necessasy in our future.I am an international student who’s adjusting his status (getting my green card) this year.

I would just check to make sure they are a TRUE Turnkey Provider.

@Greg Dickerson mail is definitely tried and true for me.
