I still saw a ton of STR on Airbnb regardless.Can people still get away with buying STR even if they are illegal? 

Most people who are completing rehab want to pull based on the value they have added to the property. 

@Patrick Hancock As many people have already mentioned liability protection is the typical reason people put each asset into a separate LLC.

Attend meetups and meet as many people in RE as you can.

It's only under a subsection that most people dont go to.

Hey Matt,I aggressively built a 12-door rental portfolio from 2019-2021, largely leveraging my HELOC.I always tell people that it's a fantastic tool as long as:- You can COMFORTABLY service the extra debt- You have a plan to pay it offI was ok with the extra debt servicing and my payoff plan was simply finding off-market deals, paying cash, doing cosmetic rehabs, and refinancing when done.

I see tons of people driving them around and it would seem like a no brainer to offer one for rent in your cabin if you had a garage. 

There's a meetup--red stick investors group--here in BR that is great for meeting other people in RE and learning.

If you are focusing on volume, you might have to adapt your ROI to be able to acquire more properties and keep your people busy.

Someone or multiple people let you down during this process unless you bought it direct from a wholesaler or seller off-market, then you should have known this would happen.You may be able to go direct to the sheriff as this is not an eviction because she is not a tenant and you own the house.
