Balancing Property Management and Personal Responsibilities with Limited Time Off

[Seth Baumgartner]

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

I work on a boat for 28 days at a time and then have 14 days off. During my off days, I'm currently focused on setting up my property to rent out. However, my mother is asking me to visit her to help with some matters, and I'm struggling to balance both responsibilities.

My property needs some work to be rental-ready, and I want to make sure it's done properly to attract good tenants and maximize rental income. On the other hand, I also want to be there for my mother.

Has anyone else faced a similar situation where you have limited time off work and multiple responsibilities pulling you in different directions? How did you prioritize and manage your time effectively? Any tips on balancing personal and property management responsibilities would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Seth
