Hey Michael, Columbus offers a compelling investment landscape.

I use AirDNA as well as Pricelabs to do some of my research, but I also search Airbnb and FF to see what's being offered.

They can help you draft the offer to purchase.

There are a lot of excellent operators/syndicators out there that you can build a great long term relationship with, not only the popular groups that are sometimes more focused on education or selling coaching.

I recently was on a call with a loan officer on this new shared appreciation loan program CA is offering.

I've never done this before, we usually just ignore the LLCs, but honestly its worth a try, if I were a lawyer I wouldn't disclose anything about my client but I would definitely pass on the offer.

"Real" real estate education is found in real estate agent and broker courses, both initial licensing and CE, certain colleges and universities, courses offered by legit organizations such as Appraisal Institute, CCIM, BOMA, NAR, CRE, MBA,  etc., textbooks on real estate, real estate law classes, and SOMETIMES in education offered by REIAs.

MiSTRA - the newly formed Michigan Short-Term Rental Association, does not support these bills as currently written and testified against it - we did a good job to be balanced and offered some ideas for improvements that could be much more favorable.

Are the fees just the 6% RE commission or are there other fees I could consider when making a counter offer.

Rehab Financing: Do you offer financing for the rehab costs?
