Be cognizant of their time and I personally write out the major questions on a post it to make sure I hit them as I talk.

Since the potential properties can be removed from the list in last min,  my major concern is when i fly in, the properties i'd liketo bid on could be already invalid from the list at auction. 

Besides land, infrastructure/site work, and the building construction itself, am I missing any other major category of costs?

Thankfully, no major repairs were needed after Milton.

I imagine some bad apples will do this and charge by the page rather than the complexity, but I'd like to think that the majority operate in good faith.

Then I've seen more experienced investors on BP explain things using finance terminology and I'm not a finance major or work in any part of finance, trading etc - maybe I'm just dumb and am sharing two brain cells with my cat LOL I am guilty of using LTR (Long Term Rentals), MTR (Mid Term Rentals) and STR (Short Term Rentals).

Hey BP family,I’m excited to share a major win with you all!

I househacked 4 times and the 2 I still own here in Austin pay the majority of our mortgage on our primary residences we bought this year.

By the time you want to rest on your laurels, it would be good to have your loans not only paid off, but are also ahead of your future capex, meaning all major things already upgraded.
