Do you think you're going to be covered if the 3rd tenant starts a fire and burns the place down?

I am a very hands on person and am picky about my own contractors/ repairs.

You could even ask the seller for the plumber they used as a starting point.

I will post the before and after pictures, hopefully it can help anyone starting this journey, we are new investing out of state but NOT new to handlining construction project out of state for clients, looking forward to the challenge!!!!

Dillian,First off congrats on your journey into real estate, and no better way to get started than a house hack.

My family and I just recently took a short vacation to Wilmington and the house we stayed in really lit a fire in me about getting started because it was so ideally situated. 

I use AirDNA as a starting point then check that number against what units are doing on the booking sites (Airbnb/VRBO). 

(About 8%)I’ve probably started 3-4 evictions,every tenant moved out before we got to court. 

Proper due diligence will reduce your risk, but it won’t eliminate it entirely.Personally, I like value-add opportunities because they build in equity from the start.

I’ve learned to start the permitting process early and keep a close eye on inspection timelines to avoid bottlenecks.It can be difficult to find contractors who are not only skilled but also reliable and available when you need them.
