Most of the time, people who have never even made an offer end up with 2-3 submitted LOIs in the first 1-2 weeks, and we celebrate small victories like that to build momentum and confidence. 

What you have is noise...the tenant elected to stay in the property during the repairs which you made promptly.

I made the mistake of renting my single-family house in Alpharetta to a tenant with a credit score in the 500s in December 2023.

@Brice Alef-Torrisi putting each property in its own LLC is usually overkill.Getting a bank account for each LLC is typically something you need to do to avoid "piercing of the LLC corporate veil" (actually depends on tax selection you made for LLC), but is also overkill.You haven't indicated how you are holding the deed for the latest property.If in your name or same LLC, you don't need a separate bank account.If in separate LLC, you can create a Master LLC, have each property LLC hire the Master LLC to manage their affairs, and just get a bank account for Master LLC.This is an opinion, not advice, so lookup CPA Frank Alcini in Troy for expert advice.

I also probably wasn't as educated as I should have made myself, so I'm sure there were decisions that could have been handled better.Part of the reason I wasn't willing to deal with the hassles was because I had 3 young kids.

The data points they use made me feel like it got my pricing right and I feel much more confident about what my nightly and seasonal rates are now. 

Purchase price: $545,000 Cash invested: $545,000 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I recently did one where the lender did allow it but that was because of our position as a great customer of the bank and our impeccable credit record.
