Quote from @Caitlin Cartwright:
Beach, 100%… being near a significant body of water has always seemed like a major predictor of appreciation in value to me, and there seems to be STR demand year-round. Just my personal choice and opinion!
I do think being near the water is an appreciation market, for the most part. What about insurance costs?

Stay on top of the economic news, roam the MLS and look at expired/pending data weekly.
Def a few good things to continue to look at!

Being at inbox zero every day and spending time on the vision of the company and not just the day to day operations.
Love it! Comapny, as in a team of agents? What kind of company?

Quote from @Michael Paling:
I've been trying to utilize the Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. The first hour of my day consists of meditation, reading, journaling, visualizing goals, and affirmations. I'm supposed to exercise too, but I tend to leave that one out. This whole process helps me set plans for the day and what I'm going to get done, along with continuing to reaffirm my written goals.
I am familiar with his book, what goals are you visualizing?

Quote from @Amir Khan:
@Bobby Paquette I am an investor, so I have my goals laid out for the 5 years, 3 years and 1 year. I use 12-week year system (from the book with the same name) with great success. The 12-week year breaks the long term goals into 3-month increments and further into weekly tasks. A weekly task could be as simple as search and underwrite 1 deal. If you are underwriting 4 deals a month and placing offer on 1, you have a greater chance of buying a deal in 3-6 months.
Awesome way to do it, thanks for sharing!

If you could only pick one type of location to invest in STR's for the rest of your investing career, which type of location would it be? Near the mountains(Like Gatlinburg), near the beach(Like Destin), or in a city(Like Vegas) and why?
*Doesn't have to be the locations I used as an example just wanted to give an example!

If anyone saw @Dave Meyer IG post the other day, you can guess rates are going to rise to low - mid 7% (Some are already there). I know no one has a crystal ball to tell the future, but I am curious on everyone's thoughts about where rates will be at to end 2023, July 2024 and end of 2024 along with why you think that?! At point do you think, if ever we will see around 5% again?

I'm using a NEST Yale lock. It allows control from anywhere thru a Google and or NEST app. You freeze the pad and change codes. I like it.
Awesome, Thanks for sharing!
Beware of these! I have them on my house and there is no key backup on these. They are somewhat tedious to set up but adding guests and changing codes is fairly simple. However, I would not purchase these for a rental since there is no key back up. Makes me nervous even having them on my house but they have held up so far.
If you were to have ones with Key back-ups on rentals and those rentals were out of state, how where would you keep the keys? With you, out of state?

It looks like you need to connect it to wifi through Weave, does that sound correct? I don't have any google products in my house currently
