How did it work out for you?

Hey @Isadore Nelson, how did this work out for you?

If you do go STR I recommend doing it now and taking the time to work out the "kinks" and get a fe reviees under your belt to hit peak season strong. 

Unfortunately,  plans did not work out and we are under contract to sale.

The lesson here is that EVERYONE (especially mentors/gurus selling their “expertise”) has investments that do not work out as anticipated, one that actually lose money, and one’s that tie up your capital for long periods of time before you get your capital back.  

Work out, build confidence, take care of your health and mental health.

Definitely go for a duplex if you can, but if that doesn't work out, don't rule out something smaller to get started.

Sometimes properties priced in that range have lower rents or higher expenses, so the numbers don’t always work out perfectly at first.A few things to check: Are you including all expenses (maintenance, vacancy, property management)?

—if one doesn’t work out, I just move on to the next.

Not sure how the numbers work out but then he might be willing to go lower
