My husband and I have been investing for the past few years and are currently selling our house hack duplex that will basically give us a huge capital boost in our ability to acquire more serious properties.

However, I'm confident in my ability to navigate these obstacles if enough resources are available to research and help me through the process. 

Additionally, the more you learn and the more value you provide (capital, time, or skillset), folks will take a chance on you because you demonstrate your ability to be dependable and resourceful.As time goes on and the more you learn, deals and opportunities will eventually come to you because you are "in the room where it happened."

Now we're seeing a bit of the opposite, as the travel market (especially in non-metro areas) seems to be starting to cool off but the data is trailing and based on last year's outlier year.2) It doesn't really offer the ability to comp based on amenities and direct locations. 

My ability as a contractor as well as my desire for REI.

It wasn’t until I read their management agreements and they wouldn’t budge on language around me not being able to visit my property or sell it without their permission or their ability to change fees at anytime without an an option for me to terminate or 12 month term except the agreement survives if any tenant leases in place, which would require me to make my 4-plex 100% vacant to stop working with the PM.

Send the client a bill and let them know that he will use an attorney if it goes any further.

Conversationally ask what their process is for finding deals that could potentially yield a good cash flow and cash on cash return.There are varying degrees of what I would call "investor-ready" agents, from like a level 0 agent who can't even spell investment; to level 1 where they know the terminology but can't really do investment math and don't understand the approach for evaluating a deal; level 2 where they do know how to evaluate a deal but can only do that on a hunt-and-peck basis with random single listings on the MLS; level 3 is like level 2 but they have an ability to correlate the single listing with a single set of rental info such as through rentometer; level 4 when they know how to take a CSV dump out of the MLS and plug in rental information to develop cash on cash scenarios in Excel; level 5 when they can load a CSV dumped out of the MLS, and another CSV of the MLS rental info, into a database like SQL Server, and run a query that correlates the for sale listings with the rental listings by either geocode or subdivision, and then sort the result by the calculated estimates of cash on cash ROI.

I believe the originial BRRR method was devised to buy in cash and refi afterwards because of strength of offer, ability to refi before 6 mo after acquisition, and save the extra closing/loan.It depends on how you structure your deal on what loan products you can get. 

In terms of buy and holds (cash flowing rentals) the opportunity is overall high, obviously based on how long you are willing to hold because the market in vegas has the ability to generate long term holding equity with the fact that vegas is a top 5 growing city in the country currently.
