Whether that means outsourcing to a reliable property management company or building a tight-knit team of contractors and virtual assistants, the idea is to stop being the bottleneck.For some landlords, short-term rentals with professional cleaning and guest management have given them more control (and cash flow), while others have found peace in long-term leases with Section 8 tenants due to guaranteed income.

I rather be in a more close-knit environment, so I'll get the annual ticket.

So, I can make it a seamless process and have your already tight knit team ready to get the job done.  

It feels like joining a close-knit family where collaboration and support are paramount.

They call it a tribe, a family, or something similar, giving people the sense they belong to something special—often creating a tight-knit environment that makes it harder to question what’s really being offered.So, what’s the takeaway?

Thankfully, I come from a close-knit family who believed in me.That second investment turned out to be a game-changer.

Over the years, I’ve seen how a tight knit community sometimes means less competition and more welcoming neighbors.

If your property is 1259 sq ft, and the going rate for 1250 properties in a close-knit are is 1250/month, then two things are a given.  1: In order to get the 1250 you need to have no problems with that property.  2:  just because you added gold fixtures in the bath, and a marble floor in the foyer, you're not getting more than 1250. 

You will see that this is a pretty tight knit community and you will soon find yourself surrounded by the right people if you put in the time and effort to connect with people. 

Think of it as the rough sketch that helps you figure out where you want to swim: Omaha’s stable single-family rentals with decent cash flow and strong appreciation potential, the sizzling up-and-coming pockets around San Antonio where off-market deals still lurk if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves, or those tight-knit Chicago neighborhoods where a trusted investor-friendly agent can point you to contractors who won’t ghost you mid-reno.
