I say woah woah woah- I told you guys I only had 200k, this is putting me at like 270k invested with the 20k finders fee and design fees.

If you get a lot of properties it would be fun to have the first tab pulling data for metrics on portfolio performance, monthly cash flow, expenses, etc.

So far the high season is performing much better than the off season, but not as well as 2019, 2021, or 2022.  

I was wondering what's everyone's process when maintenance or repairs needs to be performed in the rental property.

I only ask because I work with a few different builders that have 2-4 units in growing markets.

And a little skepticism that the market would continue to grow at 5% or more on average (it's been ~7% average for the 8 years I've lived here)@Dave Foster I filled out the BP spreadsheet here for the sell or rent decision, and similar to you advice, selling and investing the profits in index funds performs only slightly below being a DIY landlord, making that seem an attractive option. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Underwriting will assess the performance and appraisal of the property based on traditional long-term rental comps.

Purchased with minor updates to modernize the space, it now serves as a high-performing long-term rental property.
