Food to know.

So next time your CPA saids you can use education hours, looking at financial statements(investor hours), or my favorite "managing the property manager" run for the hills.

Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you. 2) Follow your favorite forum topics and set up keyword alerts!

Sherman and Denison are my current favorites, but I always say stay open to opportunities.

I have STRs in two markets and one pending in a third - my favorite market is the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee (Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg).  

As far as investment strategy goes you'd again want to consider what kind of market you're in -- but a personal favorite to start with is definitely House Hacking as that should lower or get rid of most peoples largest expense in Housing -- leaving you with more money to save to invest!

They could've charged me for dog food and I would not have even realized it!

The combination of rotting food, rat droppings, and general decay was overwhelming.

It would cover any food that spoiled as a result of that.
