Push the Insurance CompanyWhy: Insurers often delay claims, but consistent pressure can prompt action.How:Call daily and request to speak with a supervisor or claims manager.

Hi, I’m planning to visit auction next week first time.

My area seems to be saturated with Airbnb/STR properties trying to sell. These properties were purchased for investment only purposes (they are not second homes/duplex’s etc). When I check local real estate listing it...

I interact with first time house hackers / seasoned investors on a daily basis.

However, because I believe it hurt bookings, I only charge the guests $230 and increased the daily rate to make up the difference, which has worked great. 

You should not have daily late fees in your lease.

I just helped someone to buy his first multifamily in Kingston.I'm licensed in NYC and Ulster The area is hot, I get great deals daily, and the price/rent ratio is good.

If you offer a in house chef to cook meals, daily cleaning service etc. then that crosses the line.So, where is it at and show us some pics.

Transparency, daily & weekly updates and follow-up with all concerned parties.

Regarding BRRRing OOS - it can be very dangerous:(Too many newbies take contractors and agents at their word, when "trust, but verify" is extremely important.Given you're in Chicago, would recommend you plan 2 trips for a BRRRR:1) Initial walk-thru with contractor(s), which you should video for documentation & accountability.2) Final walk-thru BEFORE paying out final amounts to contractor(s).
