Wife and I want to occupy one of the 2-3 units of a townhouse/brownstone.Now as I'm reading more and more, the thought of pulling this off in Brooklyn seems less appealing given the high Price-Rent ratios in NY.

I want to ensure it is also an appealing offer that both of us can feel good about.

I have two other long-term rentals in Portland and California and prepping the home in Ventura fir short term rental has been a new challenge and another perspective in appealing to the renter.

I am eager to learn the ins and outs of real estate and am reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, by Gary Keller to get the ball rolling.My goal is to own my first property by September 2016, and from what I have read and seen thus far a 'Buy and Rent' strategy sounds most appealing and an area I will focus on to start out.Although reading and learning about something is great, nothing compares to getting out there and doing it.

Hi guys,I'm planning a webinar on short-term and vacation rentals, and I was curious to see what topics you'd be interested in learning more about.Any suggestions for webinar topics that you'd find most appealing?

My accepted contract is at 133k and the HUD appraisal is at 140k so hopefully I don't have to go through the appeals process.  

I agree the flipper did a lousy job by having profit margin so thin, missing dishwasher for a big family house, using wrong exterior material, lacking curb appeal, etc.  

Your idea of starting a power team sounds very appealing and I would like to connect and network with you.

In certain circumstances, cities with older housing supplies feel the need to do something to maintain the aesthetic quality and safety of these municipalities.

Curb appeal also has a bearing on how much rent you can get.
