Solid profits for when I decide to sell and instant cashflow if I want to keep it as STR.

I've always found the folks that run these kind of investments to be superb communicators up until the instant they start having problems.  

I tend to purchase properties in excellent school districts that are ugly, outdated and renovate to rent which is cheaper on the purchase side and provides instant equity. 

However, in my opinion the overall fallacy is people are lazy and want to be wealthy instantly.

It's not the 2010's where you can trip over properties that will cash flow well instantly.

I have a motto: "the smallest deals come with the biggest headaches and smallest pay days".

In fact, I desperately need to ask my full time job and my wife's full time job leave us in the hole each week for paydays and I need the practice and or incited to know how to structure deals properly and do not only wholesale but seller finance options and how to utilize a seller's equity when the property is 100% paid off.If that's something you could help me with then I'm game to learn.

I don't use Airbnb, just VRBO, and because I'm integrated, I can slap an extra cleaning or damage charge on instantly and as needed. 

Fantastic neighborhood and instant equity.
