Read a book, or even a blog like this one:  Application Screening GuideIf the landlord had called the previous landlord (me) they would have immediately denied her."

Also, for me 30+ bookings tend to be less profitable even though there are less vacancies.  

I love that this boiler room clown, Dutch "da loser" Mendenhall, titled his book Money Shackles then used it to put himself on the road to a real set of shackles.

@Grant Shipman Great stuff, I'm a big fan of co-living/rent by room strategy, and I do it here locally in Denver metro, and it is the best strategy in today's market for any house hacker to live for free or make money while living there, but they have to sacrifice personal space.

I don't mind setting things up on platforms like AirBNB and VBRO and even setting up my own website for direct bookings. 

If I sold, I think it would be by a hair that I can offload the property for the balance despite a tax value of $440,000, but it would get it off my books completely and free up my VA loan to purchase again. 

That's why I am a big fan of financially having a base and knowing what you are buying.

Only enroll in coaching if you've read a handful of multifamily investing books that has given you a baseline.

Yes I recently purchase this so called mentorship but before I made the purchase like a few other people stated here on this platform they were contacted and a so call interview to see if you are a good fit ...bulls..t they pry to see if you can pay with a credit card as Ed said word for word you can use more than one card but before purchasing I told Ed Peter's right hand man I do not want books and video if that is what it is I don't want it .. ooh no he says we hold your hand meaning peter as I can see someone else got the same script on this platform ..after paying 15 000  guess what came in the mail books and software with videos go figure and I stressed that is not what I want and asked for my money and Peter said no refunds  I suggest you watch the videos I called to chime in on his Q&A session he was answering question from one of the another protégé  and once he finished and the protégé  hung up Peter said if you have any questions punch *6 so I'd did just that instead of him asking me what was my question he hung up the phone on me as if I was not there it is was sad because there was only 2 people that was on the line me and the other supposed to be protégé if you are thing Bout being apart of epartners  I suggest you think twice I don't think it is a good idea I am out of 15 000 as 4/26/22 I am furious  these so-called wealthy people are ripping of the public 15,000 is a lot of money to be in debt with no income coming in and you put your trust in a person  that claims to be helping you reach financial freedom and don't give a dam if you live or die stay away from this program

In my book, I share an example of a DIY Landlord who lost over $20,000 in two years with just one of her five properties.
