There's some good existing STR funds that may be helpful with inspiration/recruiting practices.

@Cory Iannacone very inspiring success story in the Central PA, especially in Carlisle!

To be honest, it escapes me how I came across BP last year, but in the last few months since heading down this path, I've learned from webinars, posts, podcasts, hundreds of blogs, and been inspired many times.

@David Goossens and @Nicholas Crum You're right, it's crazy how just sharing your plan and dreams can inspire other people to get behind it!

I am a 40 yr old inspiring entrepreneur and investor.

This great thread about the next bubble burst inspired me to ask.

Your example inspired me.

@Dylan Mehsling 7 years ago, I used 100k to purchase one property all cash and rent it out - which was fine, but I didn’t know anything about real estate investing and didn’t understand I could have gotten so much more with the power of leverage.Fast forward to last year, I sold said property and used the same 100k as down-payment on a commercial blanket loan and acquired 14 units in a better market.I tripled my cash flow; from netting approximately 300-400 usd per month to 1000-1200 usd per month after all expenses were paid.Hope this provides some inspiration - if maximizing cash flow is your goal, so you can pay all living expenses etc from rental income, then smart leverage is your friend.

great story. i am also working on to pull the trigger for the first time. inspired very much!!

Very inspiring.
