Happens to all of us.  

Look for one that has other listings and experience in the area.

It can be done for new build but not rehab since all rehabs are different. 

My goal is to find off-market opportunities and present quality leads that fit the needs of active investors.Since I’m working remotely, I’d love to hear from experienced investors:What makes a remote bird-dogging service most valuable to you?

Only one tenant smokes and it fills the other units quickly. 

Many investors fall into this "do-it-all" trap, believing no one else can handle things as well as they can.

Are you looking to live in one unit and rent the others? 

Based on your question, you have two core decisions to make, and they may conflict with one another - where do you want to live, and where do you want to invest? 

Misclassification can lead to tax penalties.Donating to a church is fine, but tax-deductible donations have limits (usually 60% of AGI), so sending all wages wouldn’t fully offset taxes.

I heard that one of the new laws that went into effect 1/1/25 in CA requires landlords give tenants photos of any areas/issues that were a cause for security deposit deductions.Thanks in advance for any input !
