For recent purchases: less than 3 years, you probably have to grow with them and think about how can you maximize returns: maybe ADUs, or Coin-laundry or e-pay, renting space on the property for storage, air b and b or mid term rentals, splitting the lots, Tic sales etc... or value add to increase appreciation faster!! 

First one was most expensive, needed new air compressor, new stain, and all new furniture, ~$15k (1BR + loft).  

The heating and cooling seems to cause the vinyl to expand and contract (especially under rugs and piles of laundry where the floor is insulated from room air)   It was especially bad with the adhesive edged LVP we got from HD.   

Bookings and all that is simple- AIR,VRBO, we do a direct site we built but you can get by without.

I'm active duty Air Force and into real estate too, currently building my portfolio as well.

An Army then Air Force JAG officer, Garrett invested in real estate with each duty assignment.

Can you come from a long day and cook a quick meal with an InstaPot or air fryer?

Your conclusions are drawn out of thin air.

Even spite that,  we still got some air of out of some.

I’m active duty Air Force and have four properties.
