I think the biggest mistake that people make, is thinking that investing in STR´s is some totally different style of real estate. 

I initially resided on the property as a tenant myself.Prior to the current tenant moving in, all tenants were aware that I was getting married and would eventually move out of the property on Nov 18th, 2024, with the expectation of moving out of state by the end of December.It was understood that I would continue to utilize the garage and one room for storage as I transitioned to living out of state.All tenants were also aware that I would continue to access the property during this transition period.The tenant in question moved in Nov 1st, 2024.

On the advice of the fireplace guy who did our last cleaning/inspection, we sanded down the brick inside and painted it with the high heat black paint, and it states in the lease that they may use a fireplace-style candelabra if they'd like, but any other use will trigger all the rules in the Fireplace Addendum.

Upgrade to a commercial-style stackable setup that can dry faster (30–45 minutes), hopefully fitting in our existing laundry closet without extra electrical work.Any recommendations or specific brand/model suggestions for handling this high-volume, semi-commercial laundry?

Rather than tearing down everyone, I’d rather focus on how different teaching styles and strategies might suit different investors' needs.When someone consistently promotes one product while criticizing others they haven't tried, it undermines the trust and authenticity that makes this forum valuable.I'm not trying to create conflict here, but as someone who has learned a lot from different educators in the land investing space, it is concerning when I see someone posting carefully disguised spam and trying to make it look like an unbiased review. 

We still end up doing a few things like upgrading appliances or installing recessed LED lighting and dimmer switches and other life-style upgrades to attract top-notch tenants. 

It could be a good option if the investor strongly desires ease and passive style.

Rather, they are four former commercial real estate brokers, with one of them also an attorney in their 60s or 70s that have a true hands-on style of mentoring.
