As a result, there's this weird phenomenon where "Tampa Bay Area (in Florida)" and Real Bay Area people end up interacting disproportionately (queue a bunch of Floridians entering the thread!). 

Looking forward to some great interaction on this site.

I always couple this with my own manual research to backup the data that airdna has provided to prove its accuracy, but again, airdna investment explorer is an amazing way to quickly compile data on places you probably would never find manually, and then all you have to do is manually confirm the datas accuracy and you're set.Really cool thing about the investment explorer when you're using it is the UI design, you basically are presented with an interactive map of the entire united states that shows bubbles and are colored based on the amount of STR's in the region, you can then even siphon out so it only shows places that have homes prices under whatever your price point is, this way you can quickly scan through the united states and only pick out of the spots that meet up with how much you want to spend so you're not wasting time compiling data on areas out of your price point.

All in all we expect this will cost us a few thousand dollars to fix unless we have the seller pay for it but judging from previous interactions with the seller, that will be difficult to do.

.- I have had excellent interactions with David Lameyer of Northstar Bank. 

We'll have starting capital to do marketing through multiple channels and are looking for buyers with specific goals in mind, property types and areas.Any relationship building, connecting, or just plain community friendly interactions welcome.

Cold is a general inquiry that you have had limited interaction with and they are just passing off the info right away.

This type of transaction seems to require a conversation/interaction.

Be kind, courtesous and fair in all interactions.

I look forward to continuing to self-educate and interact with the folks on BP!
