@Kenneth Jenkins you forgot to mention owners that expect a PMC to use contractors off Craigslist that are unlicensed, NOT insured and rarely have acceptable experience/skill - but, they quote the "best" price.These same owners will sue a PMC if using these types of contractors results in a tenant lawsuit.

It's free to attend and will put you in the room with wholesalers, contractors, lenders, fellow investors, and property managers.If you decide to go, let me know and I'll introduce you around.

But one tool that often gets overlooked in the wealth-building strategy is life insurance - and it can be a powerful asset for your real estate business. 

We have a contractor shortage.

Target travel nurses, contractors, and relocating professionals via platforms like Furnished Finder (ideal for medical staff) and Airbnb (set 28+ day stays).

I guess it's just too many factors to consider and it easy to get overwhelmed and cannot get accurate info and estimation when I conduct analysis (ex. property tax rate, insurance, maintenance fee, rent, repair, closing cost, etc.) 

Our mortgage at the moment is around $2100 including taxes and insurance, this would obviously go up if we do refinance.

As a contractor I had to work for money, be at the mercy of the customer, jobs and timelines never seemed to go as planned, only to pay tax on the money I worked for.

I use Foremost and USAA.As always make sure you have STR insurance on your STR property or you may not be covered when a catostophe strikes.

Insurance proceeds are typically provided in a check that must be endorsed by both the policy holder and the mortgage holder.
