The seller signed a contract that MIGHT have said “if anyone that looked at the house while we have this contract ends up buying your home you owe me a commission.”  

I'm essentially investing in one house per quarter.

We went with 2 of the wash towers in our STR and we are our cleaner's favorite house to care for - the love that they can get all the linens clean so quickly!

Eric Williams has been my main contact and is always a huge help, but this will be area-dependent 

But with the above, please make sure you're not that obnoxious next door house whose light comes on anytime someone walks the sidewalk or drives by in the road.

I'd be looking for meetup groups of investors and start handing out business cards that say you are an investor looking for private deals to contribute to. sometimes its just 3-5 investors on a small house/STR
