I have seen other people charging linen fees and admin fees.My cleaning fee is a little higher that the cleaners charge to cover consumables and minor replacements.

Read books, listen to podcasts, go to local meetups, look and analyze properties, make investor friends online, consume real estate content, go to physical and virtual conferences, to name a few. real estate is sort of a long game, you'll always be learning so once you make good habits the wins will follow 

Understand as well, that if his friend is in the business, it’s very difficult for him to make an owner occupied, consumer purpose loan without proper licensing, an NMLS registration, compliance to TILA and RESPA, and on and on.

Full renovations can be very tough and time consuming without good contractors and experience.

House hacking is a great option but if you have any debt (consumer, student, auto, personal) weighing you down it's not wise to buy real estate.

But, I thought it would be smart to not over complicate it so much, and pull out of this, so I can actually set myself up for success, do more deals this year than have one huge project where all my cash would be consumed. 

It's a time consumer that I'm happy to part with 80% of the 1st month's rent, but after that as long as you place a good tenant your phone calls/issues are usually incredibly minimal, I hardly ever hear from my tenants, so I don't see the need to give up 10% of my monthly rent to a company for them to not hear from my tenants either.

Convenient process If you are applying for a mortgage, then you need to know that it is very time-consuming.

You will generally consume less water.

Smoking is considered cigarettes, cigars, pipes, hookahs, water pipes, vapes, e-cigarettes, and any other like kind instrument that produces smoke or vapor, regardless of whether tobacco or other consumables are used.Never underestimate the stupidity of the average person.
