I am reaching out for guidance and assistance as I embark on my journey into real estate investing, specifically focusing on rehabilitating and renting properties.

I always focused on buying something whenever I was able and not really paying much attention to what was happening in the near term since my goal was always to buy and hold for the long run.

I strongly suggest adopting multiple investment strategies as a safety net in case a single short-term rental (STR) approach doesn't work out.

In this week’s blog, I am turning it over to Auben Columbia’s Market Sales Manager, Chris deTreville, and his thoughts on what a 20-year scatter site residential rental professional thinks about new construction rentals and specifically intentionally developed (build-for-rent) rental communities.

Portfolio or Community Lender?

I am plugged in to the local investor community.

Granted, that is still not a guarantee...but the bad PM's usually don't last that long unless most of the properties under management are their own.Another important factor...what is the company's primary focus?

If you watch the zooms, use the resources they provide, and become part in the community, it would be very hard to fail.

I always approach deals by tearing them apart and trying to find holes in them before issues arise during underwriting.

I'm also open to any other feedback/ advice on how to grow my active income, its my one thing now that i'm putting my head down and focusing on!
