So I get this referral from a relative about a tenant who has good credit score, no criminal history, and a good paying job.

There is so much that goes in a business, rental rates, rental tax, inventory,  job costing, payroll, business analytic reports etc, QiuickBooks does handle what I have mentioned here. 

Good job 4's are the way to go! 

I have a full time w2 job. 

Great macroeconomics overall - population and job growth and major companies moving here.

While I do believe that some of the posters on BP are able to do a quality job self managing their portfolio of STR properties, they are spending a lot more time doing it than they’d like to admit.10 years ago in many markets STR provided outsized returns.  

If you know of any legal entity in TX that can help in a case where GP is not doing their job (maybe a branch of SEC), please let me know.TIA

I've never really done a deep dive in analyzing the area because it is a retirement community, median income is very low, and there arent a lot of jobs in the area.

To address this I took detailed pictures from beginning to end of my most recent flip, documenting that we did a thorough job using quality materials.   

My sacrifice… no haircuts and no fast food. 1 job full time, 1 full time side hustle. 0 debt at the time other than student loans.
