I am very green to the whole investment property concept.

Pacaso, founded by former Zillow executive Austin Allison, is revolutionizing second-home ownership by letting you buy just a fraction (as little as one-eighth) of luxury properties in places like Aspen and Napa.The concept addresses a simple reality: most vacation homes sit empty 80-90% of the year.

I signed up and will check it out, contractors as a service, love the concept.

Love the concept of 10% helping domestic abuse clients!!

I work with investors who use Tenants in Common (TIC) for income property, and the key is to separate the concept of being on title from how you run the partnership.

Airbnb/Short Term Rental investors - I'm helping a client with global sourcing experience validate a business idea and wondering if this would actually move the needle for you...The concept: A done-for-you supply chain service that sources your recurring STR supplies (towels, toiletries, linens, etc.) directly from vetted factories in China, adds your custom branding, and ships everything consolidated to save you 20-30% vs. retail.So instead of multiple Amazon/Costco runs or risky Alibaba orders, you'd get:Branded amenities (your logo on shampoo bottles, towels, etc.)Bundled shipments every 30-60 daysQuality control and inspection handledBoutique guest experience at wholesale pricesExample: One operator projected $20K+ annual savings on 50+ units just by switching their towel and toiletry sourcing.The tradeoff: 30-day lead times vs. same-day pickup, and you'd need to plan inventory ahead.Honest question for operators with 10+ units: Are you spending $200-500+ per unit annually on supplies, or constantly dealing with inconsistent quality/stockouts?

I spoke with my grandmother about this after giving it some thought on my end and she came up with the concept of partnering up with her on the matter rather than my father.

Once you get your head wrapped around the concept of what you are doing, instead of viewing QuickBooks as the dastardly accounting software program where you need to be an accounting guru, you will become more relaxed.  

The concept is the same.

You just can’t successfully operate in the real estate industry unless you master these concepts.
