Then you could also get another STR somewhere else, as you could utilize a low down payment loan on the primary.Denver is a great area to invest, and I always prefer investing in your backyard!

This will also be per-diem life but If I get my own place there I will also get housing per diem not just food like I am now (living with boss currently). 

They use Zillow too, but also prefer their own application over the Zillow application.

I would prefer that to having occupants in my home for an unknown period.

The partner would be near the area where we would be investing, but would would prefer we get a third, small local partner for the purpose of managing tenants, move ins/out cleaning, small fixes, etc. 

We normally have a few guest speakers, food and a ton of smart investors to network with.

I almost all BRRRR deals, although I prefer the term value add since BRRRR implies that you will hit a grand slam every time.

Secret dogs--the barking all day when the master is not home is more a problem than just having the dog.In my experience they are Secret because the people really can't afford the deposits, and the renters who make deposits won't turn in the secret pet owners because of the "Just can't afford it" thing.Those who can afford it--pay, those who can't have "Secret Pets".I believe cracking down on secret pets may cause move outs because people love their pets--Secret or not.And turns are expensive and best avoided if possible.Tell your pet owners (and the property owners) they can use (Food Grade) Diatomaceous Earth to kill fleas and flea eggs inside, outside and petted on the cat or dog.
