Good morning,I do have a question that I wanted to get some insight if there are any glaring cons in my thought process/future action.

Once that reserve fund is established, move all future cash flow to an investment account.

You find here on BP tonnes of free RE advice; please save your money for investing in RE. 

That is the safest and easiest way to start in RE.

In the future, please have all this lined up before you submit a contract.

One PM company I dealt with back in San Diego... thankfully not in OC... buried costs for advertising and re-leasing in their contracts.

Is it possible to re-finance these separate properties as a group in a single loan?

Recently, I've realized that it helps me (and my guests) to re-confirm details of their booking before they arrive (so there are no surprises such as undisclosed dogs or extra persons added).To answer your question on how to see how others have reviewed you as a guest, in Airbnb, you'll find it under your Account, then at the top of the page, select Go to Profile.

You can try your luck to see how long it’ll take for the roots to re-grow, but be prepared to eventually make the proper repairs.

Hey @Jon Averette congrats on being a future dad!
