You could trim your expenses by eliminating property management - you can absolutely do this yourself on a 6-unit, even as a newbie.

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

Quote from @Alex Moazeni: You are making the common mistake of allowing a tenant to push you around.This is your property.

@Felicia JenkinsAlso, Padsplit will want you to eliminate any dining room, den, etc to add more bedrooms. 

The lender did everything wrong in this situation and now are paying for it.Now they are trying to sell the loan at a slight discount (oh did I say its a 0% interest loan and they jacked up the UPB of the loan instead of adding interest) - again another rookie mistake. 

That is completely eliminated with REI. 

And share your experiences to help others from the same mistakes. 

But ABNB felt so 'authoritarian' (once again for lack of a better word)....including stuff like removing my SuperHost status for a mistake of their own and not reinstating it once I proved them wrong. 

I made that mistake with a 2 bedroom condo - after 1 year, I had to shut down operations due to HOA rule violations of NO short-term rentals less than 30 days.#8 The 30 day+ rule -  Certain places Airbnb is outlawed or a softer rule is the 30day+ rule.   

Using different colors was one of the biggest mistakes we ever made in the early days; tracking the colors even with a spreadsheet was a nightmare, as was keeping dozens of different touch up colors in the storehouse.
