I write and share a lot about my experience, the market there, and even openly share performance history and numbers on my own rental portfolio.Happy to send you and anyone else those resources.

You send huge volumes to compensate for the poor performance (0.1 conversion rate).Do you know what is utterly stupid?

Its CMA system is fairly accurate, but the free lead lists and the easy use of marketing and sending letters and postcards is also nice.

While this might seem fair on the surface, it may not accurately reflect each tenant's actual water usage.Usage-Based Billing: Implementing a system where tenants are billed based on their actual water consumption could be fairer.

No formula can be accurate across the board because even “cookie cutter” properties next store to each other differ as to view, location to the street, topography of the land, lot size, physical condition of the property, past remodeling, quality of the mechanical systems, sunlight, utility bills, past use, etc.  

Get firm quotes from contractors for the renovation work to ensure your budget is accurate.

Seems like my area is allowed to do STR and I was able to obtain where to contact to, to make sure what I found is accurate. 

My guess is, they con investors into $50,000 or more and spend it on their sub-par lavish lifestyles, making promises they can’t keep doing services they aren’t capable or legally able to perform.

Unless you are incredibly confident in your reno assumptions, I'd recommend getting a contractor out there ASAP to give you an accurate reno estimate if you want to go that path.

Hey @Jennifer Figueroa, if you were to refi already, do you have enough equity to perform a cash-out?
