In person control before controlling re from the distance.

If you’re looking for more insight on RRG or your particular STR deal, I’d say most people on BP would agree that I’m the go-to person here for that.

Your realtor should be the backbone of your business and be able to help with sending you personalized deal flow, building the rest of your real estate team (PMs, GCs, lenders, etc), showing you the good/bad neighborhoods, developing scope of work and estimating renovations, and so much more!

Welcome, great community here on BP but also in-person in Central Texas, definitely encourage you to get involved in the lots of groups and events in the region!

I’d also love any advice on avoiding common pitfalls and how to build a strong foundation in real estate investing.If there are any resources, local groups, or even personal experiences you can share, I’d be grateful.

I was implying about the type of person the original poster is.

I personally use Quickbooks online and have a virtual (remote/nonlocal) bookkeeper.

Personally, I’ve been exploring opportunities where growth patterns and infrastructure expansion hint at future value increases.

Just keep in mind that there are further steps you'll want to keep to minimize the possibility that your entity is ignored for this kind of personal liability (say, if you were the person who didn't properly clear snow, or if your finances and the LLC's are comingled).And I agree with @Chris Seveney, insurance may provide adequate protection based on what's available to you.

T First person I've heard say I look forward to the losses.
