I don't know if the odor returns later because we literally cleaned the crap out of the place.

Families and businesses in Paradise, CA and Magalia, CA (and surrounding communities) were literally nearly wiped out in a matter of a few hours.

We were literally thrown into the deep end with this.At that point, I decided I start learning and learning.

Been on the forum for a couple months, literally listened to every podcast from the last year or so and my way to and from work.

Yeah, this is definitely not my main focus but I definitely see the opportunity literally in front of me everyday. 

I spent quite literally every cent I had, to pay for a house in cash. 

We literally went from making $14,000 our first year back to now in the low 110s by the end of this year.Between 14k in 2016 and 70k in 2017 and trending upwards for 2018, we were prequalified for 150k loan, assuming 10k in taxes and 5% down.

What they quickly discover is that virtually a single capital expenditure, a few inflated vendor invoices or a slow turn, could literally obliterate that month, quarter or year of being in the black.Likewise, PM's have to be concerned with much more than "Tenants, Toilets and Trash".

But with some advance planning this process of conversion from investment to primary residence can be a literal gold mine for folks as they go through their careers. 

Screening is very fast and complete - I can elect to accept CC and set the convenience fee (I do charge a tad above costs), and I find its pretty easy to reconcile a tenants payment via "serial number" or transaction ID reported to the bank with both Rentec accounting AND quickbooks - albeit Quickbooks is still manual for me (you can export from Rentec to Quickbooks via CSV... havent got that far along yet.We literally just completed several rehabs (meaning LOTS of expense), so seeing rents come in quickly and accurately is a relief for a change!
