Once all three units are operational, you’ll have three income streams to support your expenses.Evaluating if it’s a Good Deal:Cash-on-Cash Return: After figuring out your total investment (down payment + repair costs + holding costs), calculate your net annual cash flow (rental income minus expenses like mortgage, repairs, insurance, etc.).

Ok here is the thing Darnell, for private lending we weight ~40% on the property "deal" itself, and 60% on the Operator themself; if they know what there doing, can they pull it off, do they have the "chops" for it, are they contingency ready, etc etc.. 

Hi Samuel,When considering how to pay off a loan faster, both methods you've mentioned—making a large principal payment at the end of each year versus bi-weekly payments—can be effective, but they operate differently.Large Principal Payments: Making a large payment once a year can significantly reduce your principal, leading to lower interest costs over the life of the loan.

If the opportunities are limited and cash is plentiful, pay down debt, increase rents and make everything operate better. 

And operational inefficiencies.

Just buy your first rental as a house hack to get your foot in the door and get some operational experience owning/ operating Multi-family.

Hello BP,I'm wondering if any experienced operators out there can shed some light on best practices.

One of those rules required the STR platforms to remit the San Antonio HOT tax directly rather than having the operators/hosts remit and pay that.

.-- If you're the lessee (and not the deed holder / owner): COH will require written consent by the owner to the use of their property as a        STR and to accept liability for taxes if the STR operator does not adequately remit Hotel Occupancy Taxes (HOT) as per local                         regulations. laws—a responsibility most owners will be reluctant to accept.-- Expect a grace period of two months once the new regulations are enacted into law.

I will also change all 4 BR windows (common windows have already been changed) and a wall heater (not operational) but consider these cap ex and not included in the $5k.
