So far, I’ve worked on automating things like tracking expenses, sending out emails, and setting reminders for important deadlines.I’m wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for tasks I should look into automating to save time and streamline my workflow?

I think the easiest way is just to set up an excel file for the property and put together a punch list, room by room. 

Sounds like a problem with setting expectations.

I'm sure he could give you some pointers on setting up a business and creative ways to save money.

Also setting standards amungst your trades.

Those properties that are obviously vacant - as well as those you advertise for 'immediate occupancy' are well-known targets of squatters. 

Would you rather set it and forget it and not need to refi again or rather take advantage of low/no closing costs on this loan and plan to be more aggressive on your rate at the time of your refi?

Since my current strategy is BRRRR, I'm looking for a location where I can implement it successfully within my budget.I’d prefer to target the best neighborhoods or subdivisions I can afford, ideally with favorable eviction laws and other key factors.That said, I started wondering if there might be a better strategy to achieve my goals.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

If you move your expectations to keeping some money in, but refinancing out as much as you can then you'll be set up to not be let down from the jump.
