Matching their energy is the first step to building trust.🧠 Tap into Their Pain Points: Listen for words like "stuck," "frustrated," "exhausted," "drained."

@Joseph HenryIt works the same on an adjustable rate mortgage - if you pay extra it reduces the principal balance

@Pretty Khare As Ruben and John mentioned above, you can utilize a cost segregation study on your STR property to reduce taxable income (or create a taxable loss) to offset against your W2 income, but you need to ensure you are following the IRS guidelines very carefully.

Budget time and energy to manage the property manager. 

Happy tenants are more likely to renew leases, reducing turnover costs and vacancies.Legal Compliance: Property managers ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws, including regulations on rent control, fair housing, tenant rights, and eviction procedures.

.: Quote from @Susan Real: Really hate to speak negatively, as I don’t ever like to drop to that energy, but I must use my voice to steer women away from this.

After the sale of the company, we have:9-15 months of personal expenses in savings to live off ofStart with $100k cash and do micro flips to avoid the risk of a hard money lender and losing our tail if something doesn't go right or sell quick enoughOnce the house sells, reinvest all the cash back into the next flip and continue doing this until we are doing multiple flips at a time (he can manage 4 large projects at a time by himself, so we assume up to 4 active flips at a time eventually)Pros of doing this:No longer having to manage W2 employees/operations (this used to be my role but now that we have kids I want to stay home, not do this)Getting a larger chunk of cash to start flipping quicker vs waiting 1+ years to save enough cash for the first flipUsing cash reduces our risk of losing money with a hard money lender if the project takes longer to sell, rehab, etc.

This would give you more legal standing if they don’t leave on time.Walkthrough: Ensure you do a thorough walkthrough with your general contractor once the seller is fully out to assess any new damage or necessary changes to the scope of work.Planning ahead like this will give you peace of mind and reduce the chances of things going sideways during the transition!
