A lot of people look for just appreciation, just cashflow, or just follow the trends without the best guidance and that move ends up not working out due to many different outcomes that are not favorable.

We try to work out payment plans with tenants and are mildly successfulWhat are some rules and trends you have regarding rent collection?

As a local Realtor and investor in Branson, I've witnessed firsthand the ebb and flow of trends that shape our local real estate market.

If you have photos proving the carpet was in good shape when you left, I would absolutely push back and have no problem going to court.

Goal is to move mid-late 2024  Purchase June 2022: $510,500Down Payment: $102,100Interest rate: 4.875%Mortgage balance: $397,959Monthly mortgage, tax, insurance:$2,465Estimated rent $3,000 The home has an estimated sell price of $550,000 today and the area will continue to appreciate well.Home is in good shape.

LLCs are important, but not nearly as much as everyone things because they generally trend to be easiest to use for cash buyers and have to be used for commercial purchases.

If it's in decent shape, I would do a couple upgrades to appeal to potential homeowners (adding window shutters or bark mulch outside, an accent wall, nicer light fixture in living room, etc. etc.)

I mean this thing is getting ready to blast off and I'm still learning what shape blocks go in which shaped holes!!

Also cash returns tend to overstate the real return because not all depreciation is "paper"; depreciation is supposed to (and to some extent does) proxy that the property gets worn-out after a while and you'll need to spend additional money at some point on capital improvements to keep it in shape to be rented-out.Also how are you only putting 6.7% equity down?

It feels like Quickbooks to me and is easy to use, categorize, and see trends over time.
