Also look at having a security alarm and cameras put in.

All three generate leads from insurance claim residents and traveling professionals (medical and the trades).One of the advantages of FF has been that it's forced us to have systems in place to create leases, accept security deposits without co-mingling and provide "live" customer service. 

By leveraging our financial resources alongside Ron's contributions, we were able to secure the property quickly and allocate funds efficiently for the $25,000 renovation.

I recently secured my first off-market property under contract.

I was choosing to have the sewer fixed and throwing a bone to the seller to take on the very needed, and extensive tuck pointing SOW myself to help the deal move along.

So this is common thought and why it is a real challenge to get debt secured by the ADU value add at higher than 50% of the addition cost. 

If your have tenants leave every 1-2 years and if it takes you a few months of lost rent to secure the next tenant what does that do to your numbers?

After a few long months we secured a long term retail tenant to call this place home.

I was thinking of throwing in (yet another) tool; Breezeway.It supposedly takes all info from Hospitable and allows you to communicate with tenants, but also all vendors and streamline tasks like cleaners, maintenance etc from one platform.

The information is typically - lease start and end date, how much rent is, what the security deposit is, and how much in advanced rent there is.
