Look for a high producer, say 30-50 deals a year.

What kind of write-offs do you have currently.....sounds like you're W2'd, make a healthy income, and do you have any tax relief via a primary residence yet?

IE get on a top producers team for a few years.. make money as they hand you leads.. let their star power get you in the door.

Acquire in one producing assets as fast as you safely can

We just had a meet up with a few landlord, and there was an argument whether it's healthy or not to communicate with tenants through text messaging.

That will likely produce little result.

To my understanding, AirBnB can produce great returns but it has two problems.

Your local MLS should have a report of top producing agents and brokerages.

@Scott KimberlyThe good news is that the underwriting on larger deals tend to rely on numbers that are a bit more sound and have a longer track record (larger units are almost always operated & sold like a business, so good records are easier to produce).

Most of the manufacturers you can only use their thermostat and their "smart" thermostats aren't typically that great.Pay attention to condensate (the water produced by the units inside and out).
