Now, Christian hasn't been active since 2023...but sometimes people just read things and don't respond very much.Now, the things I would share with you in your inquiry here:1.

As my wife is a realtor, we’ve helped several people from Bigger Pockets find their second home/STR.

Check with your CPA, the people setting up your LLC and/or your QI. 

Thanks Ryan Dossey I also like to see the before and after pics that people are willing to share. 

Ton's of people with golden shackles of sub 3% rates, epic net shortage, skilled labor shortage, on and on. 

HVAC move to attic to replace package unit and other side replace fan and heater for about 20k8. redo plumbing work 20k9. spent 10k to fix sagging floor issues by putting concrete blocks in crawlspace.There is big neglected strip mall in back as attached with loud noises and some weird smell of tobacco etc. also has big dogs barking at people even if I go to the corner of my backyard lot.There is one bad neighbor who has big dogs always barking who elevated his backyard and rain water runs naturally towards my sideBig trees other side in neglected waste land which I think belong to strip mall owner behind and city also pushing some rain water in to that waste land.I am in dilemma now1.

I always strive to be better.I've met many know-it-alls, complacent people and those that strive for excellence. 

As a professional property manager for going on 20 years and a real estate investor, I still encourage people to manage for themselves. 

Is this how most people do it? 

Beautiful thing about RE is there is plenty of people out there and you can find the right fir for what you need as the seller
