To find a good local agent, I'd recommend using the Find an Agent tool OR use the search function to look up past forum posts from local BP members.

If you want to do your own property search off of mls (ie. not using a realtor) I would suggest finding a realtor site that has mls search functionality tied into their site.

. - I would love to take on value added opportunities so later can do a cash out to continue my investment journey, however, I have very little experience with renovation or have the vision how a property can turn into  a functioning and attractive asset ( architect connection or background needed) - No resource to off market deals, the good deals that's available on MLS usually are gone when they are just listed (I think I need a more connected and experienced real estate agent in the multi-family area)- I am looking for positive cash flow with these deals, but a few deals that  I have analyzed, all run negative cash flow.

My fav feature on Airbnb is the timed automated message function that you can set upon booking/checkout/or even during the stay...you choose when messages go out.

There is a free version designed for newer investors and it will give you a chance to check out some of the functionality. https://inveloapp.com/ Feel free to check it out and let me know if I can answer any questions! 

One of the main functions of the PM is to find a stable and qualified tenant for your property.

STRs require functional but eye-catching furnishings as well as sometimes unorthodox decorations just to stand out.

An FHA 203k or Conventional Homestyle loan can close on a properties without functioning utilities as long as fixing them is part of the repair bid.

We're lucky to have a pretty functional one for our county.You have to check with the municipality you're interested in, then check with the condo (if that's what you're doing) association.
