For another business I run I do post daily accountability in a FB/mentorship group and that does help me stay on track.

Stay in and be part of this 721 or lose my investment most likely.

Being clear about what you want to do from the start not only helps you stay on track, but it also makes it easier to spot problems or delays before they happen.I totally agree that talking to people is important.

update on this, in my opinion unconstitutional law. in December 2024  a Texas judge put a stay on the Transparency Act.

@Marc Shin ask every guest that stays with you for a 5 star review after their stay.

I would consider staying with your parents and investing in another market that stretches your dollar and covers the cost of a professional property manager.

For instance instead of having to stay glued to new listings, find the ones that show potential, then estimate rent, then put them in your calculator, then look at comps for ARV, then finally calculate offer price etc. 

For Airbnb, do i allow STR stays for the next three months and then block out the calendar beyond 3 months for MTR stays?  

We have told my ex-wife that we are willing to let her stay in the house for a time but she needs to pay rent.

Tenants prefer detached housing over attached housing and stay longer.
