Start implementing your systems immediately, because they're not going to be perfect right off the bat.

I am open to implementing other strategies along the way to get there but multi family buy and hold is my focus.

How quickly will we see the New Texas Pool Code implemented in Real Estate transactions?

I'm going to start implementing your method to create a higher threshold and have that nice boundary where I know I will be comfortable with.I truly appreciate the insight, Nicole! 

If you have to focus on one before you implement the other, you'll still be following the path of many successful investors.

I have a few pieces of advice that you likely already know and are implementing but just wanted to make sure!

We just switched to Appfolio and are trying to implement Corporate Accounting into our process.

Maybe taking some time to figure out what you are trying to accomplish and working backwards from there - coming up with action items that need to be implemented along the way. 

There's probably a benefit to being an early adopter in that you take care of it before everyone else "has to" do it, but if you're too early then the infrastructure/products/know-how isn't there as much so you pay more than if you wait until demand is more widespread.Most folks I know, including myself, are taking a "wait and see" approach at the moment, but obviously folks that owner occupy might act earlier especially since it could benefit them personally.Now is a good time to recommend RISE Engineering, which does free energy audits of residential properties and then reduced-cost work if you do decide to implement some/all of their suggested improvements.My understanding is that it's free for the audit and reduced-cost for the work, because they get funded partly from charges everyone already pays on their electric/energy bills - i.e., it's subsidized by a tax we're already paying.

I know this is strange, but I've never gone to one & I would like to know the best way to ask questions about how to successfully implement the various plans I have.
