Do you have insurance for your appliances, if the tenant says the washer stopped draining the water and now their clothes smell like mildew, do you know how to schedule service with warranty or call an appliance tech?

I see post after post after post, hey can I get a list of your contractors, PM'S and hey how about a call so I can learn. We all worked hard for years; we are not just going to give it away. Have a read
A good frien...

And last week I had a young couple stop by , looked at the house , fell in love with it .

You can google "Overnight Rental Insurance" and come up with quite a few agencies that offer this coverage.

They're a half block off Lancaster Ave and there are multiple trolley and bus stops in several directions.

STOP READING BOOKS, get to your local RE meet up, 

It takes a couple times to get your balance down, but I can literally go for over an hour where I can't go for more than 30 minute watching tv.Madden keeps me excited and completely engaged, I don't even think about working out.I also try to lift twice a week in my home, but I hurt my shoulder two months ago and I haven't been able to lift much at all.I always try to stop at a grocery store instead of fast food.

had a guest who somehow was able to "book" my place on airbnb and then get my check in email instructions for their one night stay. but the payment never cleared somehow and the booking was then stopped by airbnb but they already checked in.

I listened to Gene as a guest on several other podcasts and also listened to his podcast series (seems to have stopped doing for now.)

IMO your safety from an investor standpoint comes with building a large portfolio.If you can keep it "under the same roof" even better.Less people to speak with and less drama with logistics and correspondence.The bigger the portfolio, the safer and the better ROI will be long term.Our most unsatisfied investors are the one's that own 1-2 properties and get pissed off with me and my company if they go vacant.Unfortunately, turnkey providers aren't magicians or God and can't wave a magic wand and turn 2 properties into 10 over night lolFolks that own 7-8 or 10+ properties with us aren't bothered if 1 or 2 are vacant, as the others are still performing and cover any losses on those that aren't.Thanks and much success
