Don't be scared off by big rehabs, but do be properly prepared.

If I had a CPA prepare my tax return and it is audited, I would expect the CPA to defend his work on my behalf without charge.  

Unless you are prepared to pay the commission, you are stuck with the listing agreement you signed.

I took a brief hiatus from my investing in order prepare for my wedding coming up in a month.  

Be prepared with extra money.

I like the tip in here to do a small increase every 6 months to ease them into it and make sure they're prepared. 

I'd call the office / dept/ inspector that issued the fine and ask to have the fine fixed that you are prepared to have the fence repaired and had not received a notice of repair from city about the fence.  

Basically if it's out of hand,, camp out in the parking lot,, or building itself and be prepared to call police for assistance until she's gonzo...  

Keep in mind the vast majority of tenants are irresponsible.I personally would never invest in a SFH as a rental however providing you are prepared to leverage 80% and reinvest the profits this property for the time being is a worth while keeper for you.Tenants will beat the h*ll out of it so decide if it is long term and you don't care or sell in a couple of years before there is too much reno work to be completed prior to selling.

As a result, I've built some smaller goals for myself in order to better prepare for what my REI journey will look like.
