The best is having an agreed upon price. 

Meetups + books + podcasts are the way to go, but meetups are the most crucial to your confidence level and to know people like you do this every day.I agree with @Nathan Gesner on the heads up, when you say you are new and want help, everyone has a pitch, that's why meetups are so good - most have no pitch, just networking, unless it's run by a hard money lender.I have a couple friends who invest in the Lehigh Valley that I can connect you with when the time comes.

.: @Jonathan Greenecompletely agree.  

I'd agree it would look better to wait over a year from the exchange to refinance, but not needed.

Do your research and price appropriately to your market and your competitors.I agree with Michael Baum.My 2 cents,Mike

The two additional units will be detached from the existing structure so there will be no interruptions from that standpoint.I have agreed to a temporary rent reduction at the tenant's request to compensate for the inconvenience and loss of the backyard during construction. 

There has been a flight to the more quality areas of Austin.I agree on us having hit the bottom, time will tell but I think we'll see demand increase and rates decrease over the next few months Yeah - I was more talking about outlook for 2025+, I think the correction has likely completed (just opinion) 

Agree on the above. 

As we try to catch up on those back utility bills with the tenant, they have applied part of a rent payment toward the utility catch-up even though the tenant made a separate payment to catch up on the utilities, as previously agreed and discussed with RHR specifically (an installment plan to pay the entire past-due amount back). 

You can definitely integrate Zelle/Venmo into your systems but there's easier ways. 100% agree with this explanation BUT I think there is a sweet spot not mentioned.
