Warren Buffet said it best "Writing a check separates a conversation from a commitment" A $20,000 retainer for a trial attorney is a hell of a commitment.

Since then, I attempted a short trial of AirBNB, but when the bookings dropped, I switched to House-Hacking with short-term monthly renters for each private room. 

I have learned what I know by trial and error, making mistakes, having sleepless nights and drained bank accounts.

You could run a trial of the system before rent is due.

Hello ok this is my first eviction and im a little confused Ok so i have been looking at a house right next to mine for a long time maby 1 year and it has ALWAYS been vacant and i finally won the home at a  foreclosure auction well no joke literally the next day after aution some people moved inside the home with there trucks in the driveway.. but i did not confront them because the deed was not in my possession so 1month later after i received the deed  i spoke to the man and we came to an agreement verbally no writing or papers that he would give me 500$ a month as rent keep in mind i have never entered the home so one month past and i went over to the man to collect rent and he told me he cannot pay me because the house needed serious repairs so i got frustrated  talking with him and told him to just leave i cannot repair the home while he is living there so i waited 1 week and the man still never left so i served an eviction notice and had to wait another  30days in order to file it to the court..well im going to court next week and was seeking advice do i demand a jury trial for the extra cost?

The biggest variation from house to house and from investor to investor is how you want to account for future maintenance and capital expenses.

Tenant management was learned through trial and error.

(I understand that these are tough to find and people usually find the best property managers through trial and error.

The truth is, you could read 100 books and still not know enough because certain things need to be learned through trial-and-error.
