I've had a change order for 14k and anticipate another may come when the canal line is cleared. one of the biggest things has been holding costs with my particular loan product, plus multiple extensions with multiple extension fees Thanks for sharing.

Financial Freedom Network I laughed at -- after reading the agreement, no comparable value for that monthly price -- 3 or so years ago, if value has changed now, my time-based disclaimer is as aforementioned -- and Legrand would do well to disconnect FFN from his name, as I believe FFN is now out-sourced, whatever.I empathize with you , Joe and the other responders, but when I read Legrand’s, and most of the other guru’s, contracts prior to trying a teaser product, it clearly stated in the agreement that if customer did not want the upgrade service for which the teaser/free product, free video, whatever, was being given away, then customer must cancel within the stated period of time, which almost always range from 30 to 90 days [60 days is becoming more common, as more folks forget to cancel]So long as terms to cancel are clearly stated prior to contracting, I don’t find it unethical, -- and real estate gurus have merely adapted a teaser or rebate marketing technique used in most every industry -- recently even Chrysler cars [try our minivan for 60 days!

It's been so bad here, that I bought an STR in Indiana with another business partner in 2024 because there are minimal opportunities here - unless you have the ability and budget to extensively source off market properties here.

My biggest advice I have for new landlords self-managing is know the laws and have a beefy lease.

Since I cant account for what their money cost,I have found that is the biggest flaw.

In the past, I've found both to be good sources of information for market insight and referrals. 

My biggest concern with house hacking is giving up my primary residence.
