Welcome to the forum and to the world of real estate investing—exciting times ahead!

Never limit yourself as to how you're gonna get paid.99.99% of the time, I've come out ahead because I've taken the extra step to accommodate my customer.Here's one for you all...."

I communicate well ahead of any changes.  

Hello Brody, Sounds like you need to plan ahead and have a high level mortgage planning consultation so you do not run into problems and lose money.

While contractor availability and supply chain slowdowns are challenges, they plan ahead by securing labor and materials early and building in project buffers.

I don’t want an impulsive tenant to pay a visit to my house if they are upset about something.Unfortunately, since setting up the LLC, I found that a few weeks later I was easily able to tie my name to ownership.

I've heard Propstream might be worth looking into too.3) I think when you're starting out, you should go ahead and take the pictures. 

Even if they don't pay, I'm still ahead because I collected $3,000 in fees that year.Again, in my experience, I have had hundreds of pet owners and only a few of them have caused damages beyond what a deposit will cover, so I have earned tens of thousands in exra income for my owners.

The easier it is for someone to engage, the more likely they are not serious about the endeavor.Have you ever visited Biggerpockets facebook page?

Rather than looking at "good" areas, I'd ask you what cities/metro areas you like to visit or where you already have family or friends that live there.
