Almost every host has experienced it, a high maintenance guest that you go the extra mile for and reports nothing wrong during the stay, but then posts a hyper critical review as if they are Gordon Ramsay reviewing a restaurant.I have always opted to just not post a reply, especially since we have over 50 great reviews on both sites.

If you rush to get more properties and more cash flow, you generally acquire more headaches so you want to make sure all three of those assets are up-to-date and will appreciate more.

When I was first on this site I would advised against paid education, I saw it as all grossly overpriced and unecessary.

Thanks for your in-site Bill! 

The windows, roof, electricals, plumbing systems, and gas lines all need major upgrade to bring the property up to date. 

I see leads with vacant houses on FSBO sites. 

The land represents ~1% of the purchaseOn the contrary - if you purchase a $2 MM shack in manhattan on a postage stamp lot, the land could represent 99%Lever 2 - % of the property with a shorter useful life.Not all parts of a piece of real estate are depreciated at the same speed.Certain personal property assets have SHORTER lifespans in the eyes of the IRS vs the standard 27.5/39 year livesProperties with tons of this often have:- Over-developed land sites (hardscaping, pools, retaining walls)- Fancy Fixtures- Fancy Furniture (STRs!)

Bigger Pockets can't stop sponsors from going on other sites (podcasts).

At this point, we are three years in, and have learned that you sometimes have to have thick skin (grit) in dealing with tenants, managers, and RV site visitors; while maintaining a sense of humor and humility.

There is a lot of experience on this site that can help you navigate through this.
