We had one tent camper group as our first guests, then have an RVer couple who are about 17 days into a 22 night stay, and three other bookings over the next month.  

I would add a couple more pieces, making sure you have the capital to do the flips, knowing the scope of work that will need to be done on each flip, and finding people who can get you a good deal!

You have a couple ways to access that equity.... you can 1031 your orange county property into a large multifamily and create cashflow that way.

For the first and maybe the first couple of properties, I wouldn't worry about QB.

I'd get quotes from a couple lenders and just go with the best one or the one you'd want to build a relationship with.

And BRRRR in general are hard to make pencil, primarily because rents in my market, while up, have not really grown as fast as overall property values, and the cost to finance is much higher relative to a couple years ago.

It  depends on the scale of your portfolio but if you have a couple properties and they’re all straightforward, I think google drive is fine. 

I'm also in Buffalo and have a couple properties that used to have additional structures on them.

They stay for a couple months without paying because they literally can’t pay. 

We will not work with anyone who has not been to Milwaukee and spent at least a couple days with us, so we can get on the same page on asset and neighborhood quality.
