Currently working on analyzing properties, with a goal of minimizing human emotion  and solely looking at the numbers to purchase positive cash flowing properties.  

VELOCITY OF MONEY is something that has taken me a long time to learn...closing jobs out (Even at additional cost) and getting to the next one is more important for us NOW after having some old projects suck the life out of us.The fact that the county is threatening to take away the general contractor's license honestly SOUNDS ABSURD!

Food, water, shelter, the fundamental human needs.

They haven't been a maintenance issue other than the glass shades once getting broken which I was able to replace with used shades from a used construction material store like Habitat for Humanity.

We are all human and your good naturedness allowed you to open your heart and home to a tenant that ended up being not so nice, but hey, lesson learned and on we go :), cheers!

There are no surprises here...inflation is a human made thing. 

This business will test you in every human way possible. 

So you don't have to figure out whether you can be objective and resist that human urge to want to help.

Usually these 100% financing loans have high points and fees along with an absurd rate.

I have seen many STR operators in my market (Cincinnati) post their STR for some absurd price "because we are cash flowing $2,000/mo".
