I've found I learn best by just diving into something - and would like to buy a property by next April.The first thing I'm looking to do is start networking with some investors in the Midwest, and visiting/researching markets to get a feel.

We only spent a few days there, but we visited Mt Juliet, Hendersonville, Franklin and Murfeesboro and all of those areas appealed to us.

Once our lease expires or cycles, when we increase rent, we do so through a simple, one page addendum to the existing lease. 

Then, the Ghost Writers us the little information he gives and the Ghost Writes go through books written by other authors and they re-write exactly what every other book Ghost Writer is writing.The problem with every book written for real estate investing is it is very clear to see that the authors want ti fill the book with crap so they can get the crap to fill 150+ pages.

I currently have automated messages set up through Airbnb's page that go out on booking, before check-in, the day after, and before check-out. 

If your bro in law is on the same page and will sign an operating agreement that an attorney draws up it may be a good fit!

Next up, Weber County has a page dedicated to STR - http://www.webercountyutah.gov...

All you really need is a one-page letter saying you are taking over management, how they should pay rent and how to contact you for maintenance issues.

Explain what it takes to get their offers won in these market conditions and then see if you’re on the same page. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.
