Im hoping the numbers work out. jijijijiji Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I highly recommend creating procedures for them, either written or recorded.

It would be greatly appreciated if there are any recommendations or self-recommendations.

If yes, do you have any recommendations?

While possible to do after you have many properties where it can be paid off quickly I would not recommend doing it out front. using this method to circumvent saving cash will only lead to over leverage and a false feeling of investing to slow you down later  

Instead, my recommendations would be to not only visit the places you've already mentioned but perhaps also attend a few local real estate meetups in those areas to get a really good sense of what's out there in terms of the lay of the land.BP is great for connecting you with local brokers/investors in the areas btw, simply hop into any of the local forums and create a post that you're looking to chat with someone! 

@Austin Berlick I would get a little more feedback from the past tenants and ask for any recommendations on how you can improve or what they liked most about the place.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a contractor near Asheville/ Waynesville NC that could help me get a quote for this work?

I thought this group might be able to provide some recommendations.

I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations regarding the various analytical software available in the market, such as AirDNA, Host Away, Key data, etc.
