After one summer of STRs I came back in the winter took a first lean mortgage on the property to replace the roof (and build my RV which I plan on living in while renting in the summer).

If you plan on using any type of financing tread lightly.

Just having things out on the sink without an "anchor" like a dish or basket makes it seem like they are junk when in actually it is very well planned out.

Hello,Does the Pro membership come with the audiobook perks of the Audio plan?

I hired a virtual designer for a few thousand dollars and after giving her dimensions/walkthrough she had a buy list and floor plan ready in two weeks.

I plan on focusing on cold calling, mailers, PPC ads.

While my home is new, I'd like to maintain it well, and I plan to do this with all of my properties because I like taking care of my possessions. 

Decide on your readiness financially and risk tolerance before developing an investment plan that is comprehensive but is able to grow into a long term wealth purpose.Good luck!

You should include PM costs even if planning on self managing because it is work and you deserve to be compensated for this work.  

Or also tax planning, specialty tax credits, etc.?
