LOVE offering my Airbnb guests amenities like a pool, spa, sauna, laundry, picnic area, etc; without having to personally maintain those items.3.

I too, am hopeful the City gets the right model at the building department to handle the volume of permits and inspections. 

.- Write and publish 52+ high-quality articles on adding the build-to-rent and build-to-sell business models to your real estate investment tool belt.Are you doing all of these in San Antonio?

Items or features in this quadrant that aren't there won't be missed, but if they are there, they will be expected to operate perfectly.

U guys earn every dime you get and when I read about Jorge ( cant remember the company) but knew the bizz model.

Eric,Without going into too much detail on each line item, at first I use my back of the napkin method with a 40-50% expense ratio.

No, you cannot "write off a new truck every 3 years" as these reckless YouTube professors suggest.Prepay or delay personal itemized deductions.

You can do some inexpensive value ad items.

First you need to learn to separate the following:Maintenance: usually things related to wear & tear or tenant damage.Repairs: usually broken items like doors & windows, caused by tenant or nature.Capital Improvements: usually expensive things that wear out: hot water tanks, furnaces, roofs, etc.The seller is correct that Repairs & Capital Improvement items should not be a factor for awhile (ALWAYS get your own inspection to confirm).

.- Leverage Serviced Housing & Co-Living Models: High-end, furnished rentals for military professionals, digital nomads, and traveling contractors.Example Strategy- Raise $1M from 10-20 investors (military/gov personnel) to buy 3-5 properties in Germany or Spain.- Use seller financing & local bank loans to maximize purchasing power.- Rent properties to military families, U.S. contractors, or co-living tenants for stable cash flow.- Utilize local tax incentives and investment visas to increase ROI.Why This Could Be a Billion-Dollar Play- Solves a real problem for U.S. military/gov professionals looking to invest overseas.- Provides stable, built-in demand (military personnel have guaranteed salaries & housing stipends).- Creates an alternative wealth-building strategy for a niche group of investors.- More scalable than traditional rentals.
