You have to properly vet and perform thorough due diligence (which I didn't do a couple years ago when I first jumped in).

my RE income from my rentals is semi-passive of course... so less active than W2 but more active than dividends or social security.I just dont really see owning rentals as passive to me its active if your going to stay right on top of them and have them perform like you want them to ( this is specfic to owning C class low B class sFRs  Not those who might own 100 unit apartments with professional management those are passive as long as they are working good. . 

Challenges like this can ultimately set the stage for a better-performing asset in the long run.

Downtown Kansas City, Missouri has experienced $9+ billion in investment since 2001, including a new convention center and hotel, a state-of-the-art sports arena, a performing arts center, a new streetcar, and an eight-block restaurant and entertainment district (read more here).

I spend a total of 5 days a month performing maintenance related duties(replace flooring, windows, plumbing issues, ect.).

Hi everyone,I’m a novice investor currently managing one short-term rental (STR) that’s been performing well.

Asana and Monday are indeed popular choices, but one tool that's come through for me has been this performance tracking tool.

The only silver lining is this property performance so bad, that it helps offset the gains from my other 10 homes. 

Immediately, I performed a Roth conversion, and instead of paying taxes on $50K I'm paying taxes only on $21K.

The Pacific Northwest is competitive, so leveraging those connections can be a game-changer.Second, when analyzing deals, ensure you’re building a framework to assess not just the property’s performance today but its future potential.
