Im mainly here to build relationships and to partner on STR, LTR, and possibly do some flips - if you have other business ventures Im interested in that as well!

@Sarah Kensinger don t forget investors can build and triple net lease their properties via a long term lease to management companies and enjoy all the benefits of passive investing.You are right .management companies who are responsible for taxes , insurance and maintenance, will make sure the property and furnishings( which they paid for) are well taken care of.

There should never be a choice between a property that cash flows and one that builds up equity from appreciation. 

You can simply go to the County clerk of court and in most cases simply fill out a "Quit Claim" form and pay the recording and admin fee which is usually anot much $100-$250 in most cases.

Definitely important to build a portfolio and get an appraisal before buying.

They may have a pilot program, but is not allowed by the building code.

Murphy's law is the real deal so build your business like it.

I own a STR property management company in Mariposa County.

They build up reviews across all the listings.The downside is that if you want to switch PM's or self manage, you will have to start over.
