I’m looking for a checklist of everything to buy and do - from installing a smart lock to stocking kitchen basics.

I would be elated for any of you guys to check out our platform or our youtube channel where we have top closers locking up contracts LIVE for you guys!

The tenant is mentally unstable, didn't pay rent over a year, got evicted, forced out by the Sheriff and kept coming back to the property by breaking locks and lock picking.

Sometimes owners lock in long leases at cheap rents because they are emotionally attached to the tenants.

If you have some hot tips on new markets I should check out in other areas, I'm all ears, and my list of things to report about for BiggerPockets STRs is never-ending.2) This is for NEW investors.

. $3K per bedroom, $1700 for kitchen/dining utensils, $300 per bathroom, and another $1000 for miscellaneous (smart lock, modem/router, cameras, board games etc).

It is holding me back from proceeding because of lack of money to lock in contracts.

Now I have equity locked in and couldn’t qualify for a heloc due to credit as well.

Excellent location in Mesa.I shopped around and I found a mortgage broker who was able to get me a 6.99% rate who took the loan to UWM (united wholesale mortgage).I negotiated a $15k seller concession I used for a 1-0 buy down so my rate for 1 year will be 5.99% and then revert to 6.99% for 30yrs. and then we used the rest of the concessions for closing costs. in 6 months or 12 months I will revisit to see if mortgage interest rates dropped significantly to justify a refinance to lock in a lower interest rate.part of the approval process for the Fannie Mae 5% mortgage is to make sure that i could afford this property and that i have good credit, my income is consistent and stable and it reflects that on my tax returns, I have sufficient capital reserves for the subject property and my other 10 Multifamily properties (6 months of PITI for the subject and then it's percentage based off of the loan amounts and how many properties you have)I agree, the more that government "helps" they therefore are increasing pricing.

If the tenant calls and says my door lock don’t work I deal with it nor I call a handyman.
