Keep in mind that tenant screening, regular property maintenance, and understanding the inspection requirements for Section 8 are crucial for success.

Any success with a subto deal for your primary residence? 

Despite all the challenges and total *****how unfolding, I will say that I do believe Jorge is genuine and really wants to successfully get through all this. 

Your first couple deals will be important, they will set the stage for your success.

I'm trying to analyze my first property and not sure how to set it up to run the number using the calculator tools here. 2 of the units are successful Airbnb short term rentals, and the other two units are month to month rentals to existing tenants.

The guru uses the allure of easy success.

- FYI: it's only illegal to try to rent it out, the property owner can usually legally live in a nonconforming basement unit.If you do all this you may still negatively cashflow each month, so make sure your income can cover and/or your cash reserves.If you do this successfully, you will learn more in 1-2 years than you would reading here on BP for 5+ years:)Good luck:)

Success depends on the individual.

My frind in Omaha ended up picking up his second property sooner than he expected, simply because he’d built a small name for himself with one successful deal already under his belt.Are you feeling confident about the day-to-day responsibilities, or is there something else in the process that’s keeping you up at night?
