I understand and respect if your business model is going after the low hanging fruit ... that is OK too.Bottom line, our business model is as valid as yours or as any body's else's and you should not assume that I give a bad service and no value to my customers.

Plus, REI just fits into my passion for investing and creating multiple avenues of passive income.My intention for BP is to meet some of the awesome people on here and to create fruitful relationships. 

There is no question that BP is a nice place to expand one's contacts, cultivate new relationships that will bear fruit in whatever activity RE related one is seeking.And also what I really like is people are not afraid to ask the tough questions from those that post.So 10 months 2300 posts or so...

Don't put all your eggs in one basket with any bank or lender.

All of my monies, for the last 40 years have been going in investments, and now, I am seeing the fruits of my labors come into  view.

And not put all your eggs in one basket  ..

A number of us attend a small and fruitful meetup that Priscilla Z puts on. 

Interesting insight into MTR demand given there is not an AirDNA equivalent for MTRs yet.Regarding MTRs, I think that's it's important to not put all your eggs in one basket (like travel nurses) as demand can always shift. 

I've heard airbnb can be more fruitful in terms of soliciting MTR renters.

Yes, there are still deals to be made out there, but the low hanging fruit is gone and you'll have to get off the beaten path and turn over a lot of rocks.Good luck with whichever one you choose.
