Hey @Kevin Oh,It’s great that you’re shopping around for the best deal!

A new outlet/outdoor shopping space.  

What's the breakdown in tenancy between the shops and any income from the barn (or the house)? 

You’ve got to follow the rules closely, and that means working with a qualified intermediary (QI) who’ll hold your funds in escrow while you shop around.

At our STR, we do have a fully equipped kitchen with coffee pods. 

I would love to connect, and grab a coffee sometime this week and see how I can help build your portfolio.

More likely cash checking and pawn shops.- Given the demand, buying on through MLS will be tough.

If you’re nervous, dig into local investor clubs.. from what I’ve heard, even in London you’ll find groups meeting over coffee, talking shop, and sharing leads.

The very basics would be getting your furniture and shopping list together, keyless entry like Schlage (with backup lockbox with physical key very close as well), looking into insurance, local taxes for STRs, and moreAlot of ways to save time and make it easier to self manage with a property management software like Hospitable and data research like AirDNA.

I'm visiting for the holidays so would love to do a coffee chat if anyone is up for it!
