What was your top 3 biggest lessons learned?

The biggest lesson, which I learned early on: get clear on the type of property you want to buy, then tell everyone over and over again.

I’d love to hear from fellow self-managing landlords about the biggest lessons you’ve learned along the way—whether it’s handling difficult move outs, maintenance strategies, or unique ways to streamline day-to-day operations.

My biggest problem is contractors who can’t keep a timeline, and that’s really slowing me down.

That is honestly my biggest concern. 

That is probably the biggest incentive.

What's your biggest time management challenge?

What are the biggest challenges people have faced with this.

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

Biggest lesson learned was to keep at it, keep learning, and work with seller and title company to get the deal done.
