In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

One stop, two deals = quarter million dollar profit in under an hour.

My plan is draw equity to purchase a second home, then a third and fourth. 

also recommend doing quarterly inspections on pet houses hope this helps  PM if you wanna discuss further 

@Chris Good logically, it depends on the Class of the property/tenant.Class A property/tenant: annually BEFORE lease renewal, to make sure they are taking care of the property and you want to renew.Class B property/tenant: at least annually, maybe bi-annually depending on "vibe" from tenant.Class C property/tenant: at least bi-annually, maybe quarterly. 

We are billed quarterly and if it would have been monthly, we could have caught the leak sooner.  

We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases.Now we syndicate larger self-storage deals and work with passive investors.

Full-year net loss of $(9.0) million in 2023 with net loss of $(21.2) million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
