Remember 99% of claims that will arise as a real estate owner will be landlord/tenant, premises liability or a payment/performance dispute.

@Eric Shim,Great question - when looking at cities with strong growth potential over the next 5 years, you want to focus on markets that combine:*Population and job growth*Affordability relative to income*Landlord-friendly regulations*Diverse economic drivers (not just one big employer)*Strong rental demandHere are some top picks (organized by region) that check many of those boxes and are popular with both new and experienced investors:Midwest (Cash Flow + Stable Growth)1.

Starting to build an Short Term Rental Business in a very popular area How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

You don’t need to be the most popular agent in town.You just need to be the one people find first.There’s a difference between being known and being found.Being known takes years.Being found takes strategy.And in real estate, that matters more than ever.- A strategic website- A Google Business profile that actually shows up- Messaging that’s clear, local and confident- A brand that looks like you know what you're doingBecause when someone’s ready to buy or sell,they don’t scroll for hours.They pick the first one who feels REAL!

It's also user-friendly and affordable, making it a popular choice for individual hosts or small teams.

Many are also exploring creative financing, using seller financing, subject-to strategies, or private capital to avoid traditional loan constraints.Across the board, creative deal structuring is becoming more popular.

They’re faster, require less paperwork, and are popular for scaling a rental portfolio.

So always focusing on ensuring you are financeable is important when the opportunity arises.

But I think it is important to make sure you are doing really good checks on people before you move them in so that problems don't arise. 

It’s about ignoring what's merely popular and instead asking what creates tangible value for your specific market and your ideal end-user.
