I am an attentive listener and would love to connect with fellow beginners or anyone interested in discussing their experiences. 

I’m currently doing my homework and preparing to make an offer on my first property, a commercial/residential building and I’m looking forward to utilizing the resources on BP and especially the experiences of all the other investors. 

For your second question, do you have experience subdividing acreage?

The more skill and experience acquiring and managing properties you have the easier and more lucrative this strategy can be, and perhaps how you're seeing examples of people scaling quickly.I also don't see people have much luck asking for someone to mentor them in the forums.

Plenty of appraisers have little to no experience in STRs as this asset class (if one wants to even call it that) is relatively new in the REI space, and thus, the method suggested above is probably not that likely to succeed. 

It's a thrilling and rewarding world, but it can also be overwhelming for newcomers.

Would love to hear experiences/guidance from SMEs here.Thank you

Any experience?

In my experience, they may give you a price upfront, but they don't expect payment until they are done. 

What is your experience or opinion?
