Not to mention down time and the cost to over see these people.Hiring subs that are not licensed and insured may cost you in the long run if something goes wrong, so you are taking on quite a bit of liability that way.I try and find a happy median in that I hire my own subs, act as my own GC (although I now have my brother as a full time project manager who is a sub-contractor - I hire him through his company so he is not an employee).

Does this become difficult with downtime when jumping from one system to another

I've basically always been surrounded by dogs, and in my experience have developed many opinions on this topic.For myself, the only time I ever added a dog to my family was during a planned period of down-time, between jobs, moving to a new place, one was an injury, etc.

This is where we get those down times that it looks like nothing is being done.

Hello Jay,Thanks for reaching out, my wife and I like spending some down time in the town or Eden Nc.

The lack of a reserves fund to cover the downtime between tenants, repairs, emergency calls, etc... made me think it can’t be done.

Often there is a lot of downtime, when you're not driving and since I found BP, anytime I'm parked you'll find me with my head in my smartphone learning.

I'm not currently working and using this "down time" to get my REI business going.

For example if  grandparents are traveling with their kids and grandkids and they need some downtime, if you have a whole separate structure on the property, they can go recuperate for a few hours by themselves and then join the rest of the family later on.

How well it is setup after the purchase vs what others are doing in the area will help get your nightly rate.If you just look at the downtime and not look to optimize the uptime, you will never buy anything.
