So, we self-manage.

To clarify, my focus isn’t on analyzing T-12s for purchasing a property but rather on developing a solid T-12 for managing my property effectively and for use when I eventually sell my investment property in the future.I want to ensure the T-12 I create is both accurate and straightforward, serving as a reliable tool for tracking performance over time and presenting the property’s financials to potential buyers down the road.If you have any advice on key elements to include or how to structure it for these purposes, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.

These are self managed through my small STR management company.

Are you intentionally looking to outsource the management and day to day operations to a management company versus self-managing? 

You may also put 5% down on a conventional loan with no self-sufficiency requirement. 

If your tenants have an enjoyable experience with you, as opposed to hating you, you will go far if you are self-managing.

This email gives people yet another opportunity to self-select out of the application process based on my expectations and criteria before an actual showing in scheduled. 

Also are you self managing it?

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

But, more importantly for future investing (and sanity) stay away from "guru's" and self proclaimed mentor's who have something to sell you.
