As all fees and services are of late a bit more scrutinized in the Real Estate Industry, I feel it's more important than ever for the Property Management Industry to finds way to shift mentality. 

Investor is not a mentally challenged , elderly or minor consumer, in need of a nanny or third party guardian/protector.

If you prioritize simplicity and don’t care about exchanging later, a single JV LLC can be smoother operationally.

Same principles can apply in Florida: define if you’re prioritizing monthly income or long-term equity growth, then shape your box around that.

Don't get anxious and try to do mental gymnastics to create a good deal in your mind.

I'm exploring furnished rentals that would appeal to: *Airline crew near CMH*Traveling professionals or contractors working downtown or near hospitalsI'd really appreciate any local insight on:*Neighborhoods in Columbus where MTRs perform well*Areas to prioritize (or avoid) for this type of rental*What tenant types you're seeing the strongest demand from in Columbus*Platforms or tools that have worked well for you (Furnished Finder, Airbnb, etc.)Thanks in advance for any advice from those investing in or around Columbus!

Circle back and increased contributions to TSP toward maxing outBased on that and where I am in my investing journey, should I prioritize building retirement accounts early or focus more aggressively on saving cash to get into real estate within the next 3-4 months?

Sounds like your advice is the consensus: that if I were to proceed, prioritize a move-in ready unit, with a cosmetic rehab unit at most if the numbers+market checks out.

Are there any other people currently prioritizing design over income/functionality (that isn't already a multimillionaire)?

But with that said.Do an LLC with the Operating agreement spelling out everything.Death, divorce, mental capacity, took to long, won’t sell the property, who decides to sell, can’t refi outside the LLC, bankruptcy, cost overruns, your labor costs, 1st lien, 2nd lien positions, etc etc how can a deal get screwed up???
