Hello everyone, So I am starting out looking at a plot of land in a very popular area of Pittsburgh.

Mid-term rentals have become highly popular with investors the past 3-; years with the restrictions around short-term rentals.

Indianapolis happens to be the most popular market among our investor clients because of the strong job market, housing market, and overall economy.

I think this is the only website where being frugal makes you this popular (35 votes!)

By the way, no offense on the "vets", just referring to the number of posts and popularity.  

Not sure how this suddenly becomes disputable except perhaps this being not the most popular fact on a rei forum:)They are two different animals for sure but at the end of the day the passive paper animal covers the rock and wins.

With the apparent popularity of turnkey rentals - i'm really surprised that I don't find more personal experiences regarding them.

I say read and learn, have at least 6 months reserves, have an exit strategy and start small until you have endured one cycle to know how the market acts.  

You may create a profitable real estate portfolio and work toward eventually managing your own syndicate by making thoughtful decisions and remaining committed to your objectives.Note that investing in real estate involves endurance, patience, and a readiness to absorb lessons from both achievements and mistakes.

Integrity:  While it is popular lately to strategically default and walk away if it doesn't make financial sense to pay the mortgage or the shortfall, you made a commitment to pay.
