About 3 years after investing in the property, the natural gas and oil boom moved into my area, and I was able to get a fat check from leasing my mineral rights.

Green spaces include Ballast Point Park, with a pier into Hillsborough Bay and a play area, and canine-friendly Picnic Island Beach Dog Park, popular for picnics and ball games, overlooking Old Tampa Bay.

In recent years we paid off our primary (15yr loan, high DTI) and now only have a fat heloc.   

Specifically, I would love any input on:Whether room-by-room rental is common in major cities and if it can, in fact, increase overall rent roll Whether offering flexible rental terms can work as a strategy to increase rent rollWhat are the best tools for determining the appropriate rent and how can you adjust for lease term and time of yearGreatly appreciate any thoughts!

Buying as many as we can in certain neighborhoods of C and D areas.

I was fortunate to work with an amazing buyer agent who made my life as a seller and seller agent/owner easy.14) Lastly, be prepared to learn more than you can in any book or blog written by a guy like me and have fun!

I went down the side hustle route and decided it was easier to trim fat in my expenses FIRST.

I always opt to try and be competitive in all other factors primarily before resulting to price drops so that we can get the best price that we can in the homes we manage.

I am looking forward to both learning and offering help as much as I can in the Bigger Pocket Forums.
