I decided that I would not be missing any more holidays, birthdays, sporting events, or school functions for a job.My wonderful wife, Ali, is a successful Realtor in Northern Colorado.

Fort Worth, Texas is the 11th largest city in the US and part of the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex (the 4th largest metro in the country). 

From there, think about your ideal tenant (like grad students) and design the space to match their needs: good lighting, functional layout, and durable finishes.

Hello Damien,I'd recommend using the agent finder feature or the search function to find BP members who are active in Hartford.

Tysons Corner features the United States 8th largest mall, and notable employers include Capital One Headquarters (~10,000 - 12,000 jobs), Booz Allen Hamilton Headquarters (~7,000–8,000 jobs), Freddie Mac Headquarters (~6,500–7,000 jobs), MITRE Corporation (~3,000–3,500 jobs) and Northrop Grumman Corporation (~2,500-3,500 jobs).

@Myrtle Mike Thompson: Is the product gap that anyone can create an STR directory, but the real challenge is that these listings need to be informed by the local codes, bylaws, and statutes that actually govern whether a property can legally function as a short-term rental.Without that regulatory layer, users could be misled into purchasing properties they can't legally operate as STRs.

Most of our work is in rural or edge markets where demand for functional contractor storage and mixed-use space is growing, but options are limited.Always open to connecting with local agents and collaborators who understand the needs of trades, logistics, and build teams in those zones.Let me know if you’re seeing similar trends in your area—happy to compare notes.— Steve

NIMBY syndrome is perhaps one of the largest challenges any sober house will face. 

Though most unskilled work will be done by me and some of my coworkers here, my largest expenses (in order, electrical and plumbing) are to be outsourced, and I'm having a hard time trusting someone new with such a sizeable job.Thank you again for your earlier response, it was well-considered and very appreciated!

Salaries aren't jumping in Philly, theyre already relatively high so my strategy is how do I get a property that undercuts the surrounding rents,in the mentioned neighborhoods and your neighborhoods, its very hard to do.Househacking is great bc you live in one uni and offset your costs and hopefully in one or two years youre able to raise rents and make a profit.My first househack was MY HOME.and it positioned me well after three years.I think pre 2022, you could have been able to scale one new property per year, but i think now, youre timeline has to extend to 2 years minimum.Other cities provide more financial opportunity, but not in the northeast.You can check out albany ny, harrisburg, scranton, and allentown,But despite all of it's flaws, Philly is indeed a world class city, and one of the nations largest, I think theres more opportunity in the long term than many other markets.I think texas and georgia are other good long term markets, but i think theres too much supply, natural disaster risk and i anticipate in the next year there will be better opportunities.My goal rn is to cop in philly in the next 6months.Save up and cop in Atlanta or houston subrubs in 18 months after that, so a two year timeline.This is using 5-10% conventional loans, i used fha for my first property.Hey — really appreciate you sharing this.
