There are a lot of quirks and oddities in Louisiana law where the current tenant can assert that they have an implied agreement that they can pay late, stay X months without a lease, do whatever action, etc, based on what the current landlord/owner has allowed and told them in the past.

There are codes that allow for more density or at min ADUs on SFH lots now.

Over the past decade, I’ve built and managed purpose-driven homes in CA that serve communities while generating stable, long-term cash flow.In addition to running care homes, I also consult with aspiring care home owners across multiple states, including Texas, Arizona, and Michigan (Detroit area).

I have been investing in Racine, WI over the past few years.

That pace feels pretty good to me...I can get past the "rookie mistake" phase of my career before there is investor money on the line, and I can "fail small" because SFRs and small multifamily doesn't hurt as much as larger properties when things go wrong.Timing had a role, too.

To set the stage, I'm owner of a short-term rental property in the Poconos in PA and we use a property management company for bookings, maintenance/cleaning, guest management, etc.This past weekend we had a guest booking but when the guests arrived Friday evening the house had no running water, though it had been running fine earlier in the day when the Property manager (PM) was at the house to give a final check and leave the welcome packet.

Appfolio is more expensive but after saving money for these past 5 months I have determined RentRedi could be free and I would pass.  

I invest in Canton, about 45 mins south of Cleveland.

How have these worked out in the past for you?

Starting my own firm was surprisingly straightforward, thanks to the lessons I learned from past failures.
