Paying off a mortgage is almost always not optimal if you are trying to make money.

So then I went to https://www.royallegalsolutions.com and called the number at the top of the page, listened to Scott narrate his own menu, and pressed #2 "to inquire about our services".

Know how and who is going to manage, speak with local PM companies (if not self managed) do some due diligence on projections, nightly rates and optimally visit (if haven't already) the areas you're exploring investing in.

:🔹 Map Your Touchpoints: Reach out at optimal times, provide pertinent info early, and maintain the right number of touchpoints.

This situation has prompted me to reassess whether now is the optimal time to enter the property investment market or if I should explore alternative investment avenues.

With my IT expertise, I believe I can be a valuable asset in areas such as data analysis, systems optimization, and technology integration.I'm open to any advice, resources, or connections that can help me further my understanding of multi-family real estate investing.

You can optimize the property.

These are some of the ways the clients could be affected by property managers who are not prepared: Extended VacanciesInadequate marketing strategies and tenant screening processes can result in prolonged vacancy periods, translating into substantial lost rental income.High tenant turnover due to poor resident relations further exacerbates vacancy losses.Inadequate Maintenance and RepairsNeglecting preventive maintenance and delaying necessary repairs can lead to accelerated property deterioration and higher long-term repair costs.This can also negatively impact tenant satisfaction, contributing to higher turnover rates.Legal and Compliance IssuesLack of knowledge or disregard for landlord-tenant laws and regulations can expose investors to costly legal disputes and penalties.Failure to properly handle security deposits, evictions, or fair housing practices can result in significant financial liabilities.Ineffective Financial ManagementInaccurate budgeting, expense tracking, and financial reporting can lead to uninformed decision-making and missed opportunities for cost savings.Failure to optimize tax strategies and leverage available deductions can further reduce net returns.Diminished Property ValueInadequate maintenance, high vacancy rates, and poor tenant screening can negatively impact a property’s perceived value and appreciation potential.This can significantly affect the long-term return on investment when it comes time to sell the asset.While a 10% management fee may seem reasonable for a well-performing property manager, the cumulative impact of mismanagement can quickly escalate the effective cost to investors, potentially outweighing any perceived savings on the management fee itself.

I have worked through Avery Carl's system and am looking to implement some of the strategies from "Optimize My AirBnB" as well.
