Hi,I did not renew my tenant's lease due to frequent late on rent payment.

Read the NC general statute on wholesaling and ask frequent questions to the real estate commission.

I kept needing to rearrange phone numbers frequently.

These deals are very risky, frequently fail, require locking up your capital for many years with no ability to cash out or sell your position. 

It's unfortunate, but the best solution I've found working in the annals of Phoenix has been laying frequent eyes on the property.

I am originally from Tyler, Tx. so am familiar with the area and frequent there often.

This is a very fluid exercise and SHOULD be done frequently so that you know you’re making progress and can shift your goals as life develops.

But for the second one being able to visit will make things easier especially during contracting time. my first airbnb, I wasn't around and construction took a while which left me with the feeling that I should be monitoring and visiting the location more frequently. additionally, my main goal is covering my w2 taxes via the short term rental loophole.

True-Up & Billing Cycle ChangeSince you were underbilled before, your current bills may reflect actual usage rather than an artificially low estimate.The switch from bi-monthly to monthly billing means your payments are more frequent, making the cost feel higher even if the overall rate hasn’t changed.2.

Your contractor should provide you with a schedule, they should provide frequent updates, they should keep you informed on delays.
