Quote from @Leslie Stouffer: I am looking at a second house in the market where I have my first STR (Charlottesville, VA), but this one has been demoed, but still needs all the insides put back in.  

It would be greatly appreciated if someone who has gone through something like this before could share what they used to make the decision to move to the area they’re investing in.I appreciate the help,EvanHey Evan, welcome to BP and props to you for getting ahead of the game while you’re still in school—that’s a smart move.

Investing in real estate is never a bad thing, especially if it is something you see value in. 

Quote from @William Thompson: One thing I’ve noticed working with a lot of investors is this:People spend a ton of time researching markets, strategies, and financing…but almost no time building the habits that actually keep their portfolio healthy long-term.Here’s the simple truth:Your systems will make or break your growth.Not the market.Not the deal.Not even the interest rate.I’ve seen investors with average deals but great systems outperform people buying in the best markets with none.Things like:Keeping clean booksTracking expenses in real timeReviewing your numbers monthlyHaving a game plan before tax seasonThese aren’t exciting, but they’re the difference between “I think I made money” and “I know exactly what’s working.”Real estate is more forgiving than most businesses… but eventually, disorganization catches up.The investors who last are the ones who treat it like a business early — even when they only own one door.What’s one system or habit that’s helped you stay organized as your portfolio grows? 

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.
