.✅ Thirdly, in regard to objectionable tenancy and nuisance caused by disruptive tenants, you will need to document these violations with undeniable evidence.Because police reports are not usually able to be procured due to disturbances like drug trafficking or domestic violence, you’ll need to take matters into your own hands on producing that documentation.I recommend getting security cameras installed in all common areas and outside your properties.I’ve used SimpliSafe security cameras but you’ll need to install WiFi service at your properties so that you can maintain recordings in the event of violations and add to your lease that any tampering with said cameras constitutes a lease violation as well.This is still developing and once we get further clarity, we will host a round table with legal experts on how to best protect our properties and residents.

Places like Texas where you’re at will likely continue to face significant insurance increases given more weather related events which makes it challenging To pencil, but if you have good population growth, things should even out.

However, financial freedom isn’t a one-time event; it’s about sustaining your desired lifestyle for the rest of your life.Once you have your goals, the next decision is where to invest.Investment Market/CityThe investment city determines all long-term income characteristics, including whether rents rise fast enough to outpace inflation and how long your income will last.Understanding inflation: It takes more dollars to buy the same goods every time you go to the store.

Although when I take my morning walks I snap a few photos to show friends they are much tidier than mainland homeless  MUCH.. but they are all over Honolulu and the Park across from Ala Moana shopping center.. so you have 5 mil condos and homeless.. and then every day there are 5 to 10 wedding photo shoots ( young Japanese couples) where the homeless are camped out. 

I was at a networking event over the summer and an attendee mentioned he Co-GP's apartment syndications and described his role as providing the escrow funds which I found to be comical.

Its also a good idea to build relationships with realtors, contractors, insurance agents, real estate attorneys, and property managers in your area so take advantage of events, conferences, and meetups.

Here’s why this can be a great option:You can lock in a lower interest rate on the HELOC since it's based on a primary residence rather than an investment property.You keep your existing home, allowing it to appreciate while your tenants cover the mortgage.You now have two properties working for you—one generating rental income and another as your new primary or next investment.For analyzing rental cash flow, some key numbers to look at include:Expected Rent – Research what similar properties in your area are renting for.Mortgage & HELOC Payment – If you use a HELOC, factor in the monthly cost.Operating Expenses – Taxes, insurance, maintenance, potential property management.Cash Flow – What’s left after expenses and mortgage payments.If you do decide to sell instead, you can also use that equity strategically—whether for a strong down payment on a multi-unit, house hack, or another single-family rental.On the networking side, attorneys and other key professionals can be tough to find in everyday settings, but real estate investor meetups, Facebook groups, and local REI events are gold mines for connecting with them.

This is a summarized version of events, but stray I rescued off the street gave birth to 7 puppies, bringing my total to 13.
