My coach suggested (and I implemented) a "must do tracker"....it's a color coded spreadsheet (I like to print multiple copies and keep them on a clipboard to stay in my sight/top of mind). 

A tip is voluntary, so your tenant could agree up front, then refuse to pay.

Most people bring their own.We also have a bin of razors, q-tips, cotton balls and even a bunch of contact lens cases in the master bath.

In Tampa here as well.That is a question for your asset protection attorney, but most of our borrowers/clients in FL have LLCs.

I find the interface easier to manually update rates across my portfolio, OwnerRez doesn't easily let me match rates across my properties on a spot basis (unless anyone here has other recommendations that uses OR).  

so if you don't have family or your own contacts in a market... it's just really tough.and (i may have said this in response to one of your other posts) but i'll just restate it here.  

Happy to take a look at your deal.

Any tips or advice for getting started?

Do you know how to read the credit/criminal background?

I heard a lot about how you got here, that's super awesome.
