@James Wise I understand your point without being able to see the removed posts yourself. I left up a lot of advice from men giving this woman caution regarding the meeting. I understand was mostly well intentioned but if you think a woman goes to a meeting with an older man she has little connection to and isnt already thinking "I hope this guy isn't a creep" in the back of her mind then you're wrong. Though, like I said I think a lot of the replies were well intentioned warnings for her to keep her wits about the situation. The reason I removed the two posts I did was because they were insulting, or derogatory toward the original poster and crossed the like of just being crass into being inappropriate and were therefore removed. 

I appreciate your remarks about how BP (and myself) moderate, that feels like a high compliment coming from you - the Blue Hulk (lol)

I preach transparency on the site on a daily basis and while this obviously isn't my favorite post on the forums it would be hypocritical of me to remove it because I know the job of us mods is not to remove what we disagree with, but rather remove what breaks the rules. And though this post does break some rules (see Kaylee's post above) I felt in this particular case my principle of transparency was more important. 

 Hi Ka V. Unfortunately you are breaking the rules by not using your real name per the BiggerPockets rules Section II subsection A "Profile names" which you can read here https://www.biggerpockets.com/rules a member of the BP team will be reaching out to you to assist you in correcting this issue but you will not be allowed to continue posting without obeying by the community rules and standards.

Real names foster genuine connection, encourage accountability, and aim to reduce the kind of anonymous behavior that can lead to unproductive or harmful conversations. We’ve found that when people show up as their real selves, the conversations are more respectful, helpful, and relationship-driven, which is what BiggerPockets is all about.

the link to the book mentioned above! 

@Keegan Rosett have you looked at Zeona McIntyre's book 30 day stay? Great resource for mid-term rental info

Congrats @Keegan Rosett I'd love to hear more about the Airbnb Brazil opportunity and how that's gone for you! I've certainly met US investors who have invested in Canada and MX but Brazil is a first. 

I'd also recommend following @GarrettBrownRE on instagram and watching his BiggerStays youtube series if STRs in the states is something you're interested in. 

You mentioned getting pre-approved for your first US property but you didn't say what strategy you plan to use for

 If you scroll down on the main page, there's a block that says "invest in your success" with the pricing listed

This is certainly not a "if you have to ask you can't afford it" situation, the aim is to keep it accessible for all levels of real instate investors or soon-to-be investors, and frankly it's a steal for all the content you get access to!

BiggerPockets is hosting their annual meetup in the Denver area 6/16 https://www.meetup.com/biggerpockets/events/307322467/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events

What method do you use to verify that your tenant carries renters insurance?

 Great book recommendations @BreAna Missick ! I'd also add in Start With Strategy by Dave Meyer for when you're ready to make the first step but aren't sure which direction to choose. I found that book immensely helpful myself!
