I wanted to avoid shady characters and losses while trying to build a rental portfolio that was rehabbed to a good standard and didn't have much maintenance issues.4.

There could also be increased ongoing costs for upgraded internet, cable TV, etc.2. 

@Mike Lee Our late fee is 8% of the total rent amount which is slightly below the standard in our market (10%).

The VA is a meticulous about the condition of the property as well, so make sure it meets livability standards. 

That property has tenants which would cover the monthly payments at its current rent which is well below market value but the property would need love to justify an increase in rent.Very grateful to have made this much progress in the span of less than a year and a half and currently just trying to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row to ensure I can build these three properties into a stable few investments.Looking forward to the future,Austin

We will have to increase density tremendously to have any sort of chance....but that is a very unpopular option.

The bottom floor is a permanent STR.At this point, living on the top floor of an STR no longer fits my life and while it has been somewhat profitable depending on the month, I can no longer handle the hassle of management and would be taking a loss if I used a standard airbnb property manager. 

They handle his 150ish doors, and he has high standards.

My full-time gig is to invest in income-producing websites (digital real estate) and I'm working backwards to first increase the authority of my website to then eventually rank organically in Google.Given my experience building sites, I personally don't think SEO is as complicated as any agency makes it out to be.
