I'm really old fashioned and have been using spreadsheets for years.

After doing an audit on my time and realizing that I spent over 40% of my time shopping for materials, I knew I needed to find a better solution.

I would shop banks.

My firm integrated the services together and our clients have loved the one stop shopping for all RE accounting, tax, asset protection and entity work. 

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

Cute shops and a few slow paced casinos. 

I’d recommend shopping around with different DSCR lenders and considering lenders who specialize in investment properties for more flexible terms and options.Good luck with your investing journey!

Hello @Jerry A.Feel free to message me if you have any questions but I would seek out a broker who has access to over 220+ lenders to help do the shopping for you.
