Which I know from being in other business that that does not look good to clients if I have to cancel showing or if I don’t show for showing and pay someone else to show my house I think you can pull it off as long as you set expectations properly with clients upfront and especially if you’re working with people you already know, like other fire fighters for example will be fine with your unpredictable schedule.

It can definitely be overwhelming.

I will say you have to know center point very well and be very familiar with it because pulling permits over there is very tough Good to know it's not just us dealing with permits.

Looking for a Civil Engineer and/or Landscape Contractor who can bringsome wall block retaining walls up to code.

It will be remote, but since you live there now, you probably already have connections who either already know the house or local friends to find you good people to service things as needed.

We keep half the house for our use year round but rent the other half out all year long.  2024 tax year will be the first year we depreciate the asset.  

Removing all skills from the equation, if you don't take a break from participating as a real estate investor in some way each day, you will stay far ahead of everyone else who keeps subbing themselves out and then asking to get back in when the game is already out of reach.

You also want to go to real estate investor meetups to get reps with people who do what you want to do.
