I was just a guest at an Airbnb that was not 5-star, so I provided very detailed feedback privately and a heads up that I would not be giving 5 stars.

I’m excited about the opportunities ahead and can’t wait to connect with fellow investors.

If they contest it, push back with the evidence.

If you want to try either, Michael, go ahead.

While competition hadn't changed dramatically, we noticed some of the competition had pushed up rents on other 3 and 4 BRs in the area.  

In my scenario I think it's possible the landlord may come ahead. 

But to be fair, I have spent a great amount of time very recently trying to help another professional 20 years in experience ahead of me bail out of a mistake I NEVER would have made.

Being prepared to tackle these issues quickly is key.Looking Ahead to 2025As I head into 2025, I’m focused on building on this year’s progress.

I now inform all prospective buyers ahead of time that I will send my painter in as a 1 time courtesy once they complete their move-in to touch up hallways.

As you progress, maintaining a clear line of communication with your team, especially your property manager, will allow you to stay ahead of maintenance issues and tenant needs, keeping your operations smooth and your tenants happy.If you haven't done so already, consider outlining your goals and investment criteria with a property manager early on.
