I like to look for board orders, excessive fines for weeds/grass, stop orders, and unsecured premises. 

No kidding just this morning I was listening to a zoom and learned of 2 business opportunities with details from Pace that have nothing to do with real estate.

To streamline design choices, create a design guide or "mood board" beforehand to stay consistent with finishes that match the neighborhood's expectations.For monitoring progress, a property manager can sometimes oversee construction, but it’s typically better to rely on the GC for updates.

Red tape with trying to get the HOA board to approve repairs.

Along with the research I am doing, I'd love to hear from others about their firsthand experience.I am 33 years old, recently married, no kids but plan to have our first in the next year.

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

Just the other day I saw someone had used black sheet rock screws in the hangers on a brand new deck (non-permitted obviously, and not a single lag or any flashing on the ledger board, and they painted it immediately before the pressure treated lumber had even dried out so that’s going to peal in the first year, at about the same time that those sheetrock screws start to rust lol). 

This kid is really dumb, I would have let him go months ago, or even have taken a smaller amount of money if he just left. 

I see enough of these, I think it must not really be an option or some young entrepreneur would be taking on these projects.Are they big enough for me to have the kids and grandkids stay over?

Are they on this board?
