I currently house hack in Chicago, however, going from that to STRs where I cannot self manage is a different ball game and just wanting to pick peoples brains who are doing what I'm interested in doing.  

Hey everyone,For those in the real estate game, how do you track your property expenses, labor, and other details during the renovation process, especially when managing multiple properties simultaneously (e.g., 3-5 houses)?

A big part of succeeding in this game is simply staying in the game.Make sure to take the lessons from this experience so it’s not in vain:•Always keep reserves.

Then you are 'in the game' so to speak.

Most agents, I can tell you from experience, will not spend too much time on you since your so fairly new and at your purchase price your not a big fish so they will tend to put you on the back burner since heir return is not going to be a game changer.

Grateful to be part of this amazing community of go-getters and game-changers.

If you don’t like fixing houses, REI probably isn’t your game if you are making 40k a year.

It's a game to inflate each other's posts.Your DMs are probably absolutely stuffed right now.

That is the thing about the game we are playing....every job is diferent and you can count on absolutely nothing.

This can be a game-changer for fix-and-flips, buy-and-hold investments, or new development projects.For lenders, it can mean earning higher returns, often in the range of 8-12%, backed by the property itself.
