I would definitely build out a list of handymen, electricians, hvac service, etc. because speed is the name of the game with STRs.

Hi all,I've been following the news closely about the launch of Brightline high speed rail service between Orlando and Miami and personally can't wait to cut out that grueling drive to Miami on I 95.

I was told it was the fastest they've ever seen a 203(k) loan close. 

@Julie Walker - I keep my window treatments (vinyl blinds) lowered all day and I have ceiling fans running at medium speed.

@Randall Alan I really appreciate your feedback and it has placed in the mindset that I can identify the things I can handle as I learn and then outsource the others, until I am fully up to speed with the operations of renting a property.

That being said, house values only dropped about 5% during 2009 and bowling green is tied for the fastest growing city in Kentucky.

Truth is I’m highly motivated to start my investor journey in real estate and want to speed up the number of investments per year by financing creatively.

What is the fastest way to get there with the least resistance?

CoV is speeding those along.

If I were in that scenario I would keep the 80k salary to help speed up the process to at least buy the first couple of deals.
