Real Estate or ART or Jewelry or your kids baseball card collection.The principles apply to whatever you are buying. 

That's when it hit me.I believe that even though none of the properties these tenants were living in took damage from the storms, they applied for FEMA assistance anyway.

It's good to hear others are having success, but I would check if it works in your area before you spend the $150.I don't know if this would apply to you, but some folks think that FF works similarly to AirBnB or Vrbo where they will push resident requests to you.  

I also plan on applying my net rental income towards principal only payments to shorten the life of the loan.

Note that there are restrictions that apply to STRs in Ojai and the Ojai Valley.  

As a landlord, sometimes I have prospective tenants apply before they’ve set foot on the premises.

Bids are applied in $100 increments.  

•After 3–6 months, apply for tier 2 business credit cards (e.g., Capital One Spark, Chase Ink).

I have a three unit building, but one unit needs to be remodeled the other two have been renting out for the past few years.If I spend X on renovating this apartment to get it ready for rental will the cash on cash return apply ?

Quote from @Sidra Amir: If the boat was there when the tenant applied, or it was at least disclosed to them that it would be there, then there's nothing you need to do.
