I am having to lower prices more than usual when listing the properties.  Is Flipping risky right now?

We have experience working in and around these areas do you have specific questions or concerns?

Dollar General and Dollar Tree have been building ~1,000 stores each in the U.S. each year for over a decade, and I've read people on the forums who have pursued strategies for building and leasing specifically to these players at a high volume.How is this rate of new builds sustainable, and how can we determine the point of saturation, when the pipeline ends?

I have advised many others through the process - there's some tax consequences you should be aware of.

Once you have that then identify specific things that you think you need to learn to accomplish that plan. 

- Should I try to keep looking for a different agent who has more experience with STRs specifically?

Strategy will also help you identify specific goals, such as cash flow, appreciation, and so on. 

A quick Google search turned this up:Some states, like South Carolina and Oregon, even require aspiring managers to carry a specific property manager's license.

I have been in the STR game 7 years and have built from scratch two times already, with unique architecture/ design forward STR specific builds as a hedge against the competition in my area.
