Learned about clean out, demo, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, flooring, design, floor plans, functionality of a home, landscaping, and all the nerves and excitement that come with this business!

All the issues in my vision are at lowest rung which, let's be honest, these people are generally working to thread the needle of maximum leverage potential and that's the truly the issue, right. 

Baselane is a bookkeeping software that is designed for landlords, I've been using it over a year and it's helped me stay organized as my portfolio has grown.

I imagine once I buy a place with a small lot, designated spots are the way to go like you said.

I sold a few homes in Jackson MS to Naca buyers.. its a process and the homes had to be in perfect condition before naca would close  IE FHA or VA appraisal standards at the minimum.. the program is designed for first time home buyers or low income home buyers also NACA was very firm on us ( the seller) buying down rate and closing costs. 

This is if you do all the management yourself, (basically buying yourself a part time job), ar good at marketing and interior design, and if your local government doesn’t flip the switch and ban STR or limit the ways you can use it. 

It was a huge slap in the face and motivation to start the needle moving a bit faster. 

My estimate is you could get a total of 250 units on the same land with modern designing.

@Mandy Whittle We have worked with numerous churches to assist them with acquiring, financing, designing and building their facilities. 

The problem is, as you have already discovered, you have to use one of their designated property managers.
