I am weary of someone who promises the moon and the stars, so I wanted to see what actual people's experiences have been.

We were holding anywhere from 50-100 notes at a time back then, but in June of 2014, Lone Star out of TX bought all 16 of the HUD traunches WAY overpaying for the assets.

We got a 5 star review.

That is a great star and foundation.You have a base for the investing side and finding the right opportunities.

I am a local property manager at Rental Advantage and All Star Realty holds my license.

You don't get a gold star for paying your loan on time; this is the baseline expectation and is what you agreed to do when you took the money. 

Hello BiggerPockets Community,My husband and I are ready to take the next leap in our real estate journey and we’re looking for guidance, mentorship, and possibly the right partners to grow with.Our background:Purchased a short-term rental in Upstate NY in 2020Lived in it, fully renovated, and listed on Airbnb in 2023Achieved Superhost status with 27 stays and 100% 5-star reviewsI became a licensed real estate agent to deepen my investment knowledge and sharpen our acquisition strategyOur current STR doesn’t generate large cash flow due to remote management expenses, but it is consistently building equity.

Not exactly a way to get a 5-star review.

I think with your budget, you are limited to higher risk neighborhoods.But with that being said, I think you are able to cash flow better if the stars align.  

I had a couple of random people I've never spoked with before (if they are in fact people - names look like gibberish or bots) leave me 3 star Google reviews without text.
