We have $20K for immediate reno, and would continue in our unit over time.Parking: 2+ car garage (ideally 1 spot per unit)Personal taste: We gravitate to historical details (wood floor, built-ins, and curb appeal) and don't like flipped vibe, with LVP and grey paint.

It seems like investors are not doing their due diligence and it's leaving a bad taste in their mouth.

I may take 100 photos, but I'll only send them enough to give them a taste, then I let them know I have plenty more.

I immediately got home and created a laminated note about the unique local bakery, which bakes the best croissant I have ever tasted, including the croissant I had in Paris, just around the corner of the Airbnb listing.

They wanted me to pay for them to remodel to their taste .

I forgot the poster, but the McDonalds man needs to get a taste of this reality.2nd point, rise before they trend back to where they are now is my expectation. 

The fact that the sponsor can unilaterally convert the notes to equity furthers that bad taste.  

I have attended a number of seminars and trainings by other gurus and have walked away from many with a bad taste in my mouth.

The coffee tasted phenomenal.

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.
