Looking for suggestions on co-hosting, STR market analysis, RE investing for or in retirement - just reading anything I can get my hands on in my (late in life) RE journey.

You will just be capped at the price you paid for the property as your loan amount (which is not typically an issue unless you are buying well below market value.) so, if you can truly get a better deal on the property by paying cash it can make perfect sense.

The housing authority also has to approve the monthly rent for the area, this can be constricting if you are leading on comparable market rents when looking to increase rents on renewal.

You qualify for 100% financing and the closing costs can be covered by getting "Seller credits" which is fairly common in this market.

Whether you're flipping houses, managing rentals, or simply looking to increase your home's market value, a stunning kitchen remodel can make a significant difference.

That is pretty standard in my market and if I am not mistaken it is more like $25 dollar add on here roughly.    

Learning about the seller's approach and way of thinking can help you make your negotiation plan more effective.Every seller in the real estate market is different, just like every person is different.

I wish I got to keep what I "make" lol, my gross income is NOT my net income, I have half a dozen people behind the scenes on any 1 transaction.   

Hi Jay, that's a great introduction and it seems like you have an excellent background for real estate.I have to say it's surprising, like you said, to see someone focusing on RI vs. other developing markets like OH and FL, but with enough work it's still possible to find something that cash flows here, too.

Springhill's growing market further enhanced its appeal.
