To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

I have been cautious about raising rents as I try to maintain goodwill with the tenants.

This way, they’ll have a vested interest in maintaining high standards of management.To truly understand property dynamics and support the management team, I recommend spending time on-site.

Those are repairs that we had to pay for, however, and that can cut into your cash flow if these problems occur often.Well maintained equipment is also key.

Personally that would be a pain to maintain and do lol

Of course "hoping" rates will come down is not a sound strategy so finding a way to assume a loan that already took advantage of low rates is a great option.If you were starting over and targeted a large SFH, would you try to maintain the property in a way that would still attract regular homebuyers (not investors) if you needed to sell?

Avantstay maintains superhost status with thosands of homes and reviews.

So, they got taken advantage of.4) They didn't do enough research on comparable properties before doing repairs - so went either overboard or slumlord, instead of properly Maintaining to the Neighborhood.The other challenge we encounter often is investors expecting perfection.

AI replies and posts are annoying but hard to maintain/control those.

As to the quandary posed by the OP: The root of the issue is that it basically sucks to be an RE investor these days.
