However, this system can hurt hosts who hide the true cost in the cleaning fees. 

build to rent is great. they are an intermediary that help investors contract direct with turn key new build. they are pretty sophisticated we have sold a house so far and we are looking to sell other multifamily with them. there is a vetting process and as an intermediary they don't control construction they help vet builders and establish relationships. they have a big team. the other builder I've never heard of but unless you can see your house I wouldn't touch it. rent to retirement has a strict policy of 90 days until certificate of occupancy until they will send a deal out they are good at what they do and I'd recommend them. they have options all over the country and established relationships.

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

They dont get kicked off the system for what is deemed normal wear and tear and to Most investors once one of my section 8 tenants left the property there was a huge discrepancy in what we all think of normal wear and tear.. 

I try to pay off all loans as fast as possible because I feel like money wasted on interest is overlooked sometimes as people only focus on the amount of money coming in rather than the amount saved.As of today, I'm just focusing on establishing the best systems to analyze the markets, find properties, get financing, make wise renovations, and manage my rental properties.

Can you spend money on a CRM, automations, VA calling service, a VOIP phone system, etc?

These markets feature turnkey properties, such as new builds or fully rehabbed homes that are tenant-ready, with systems that still have about 10 years of life remaining and property management teams already in place.
