It’s a huge renting point and can help you get bigger rents.

I’m Guenevere and I’m new to Bigger Pockets!

Hauling it away is the bigger task, but cleaning up after a fire is probably even more work.

Perhaps my current firm at $6,000 is a little more suited for people with a bigger portfolio.We have 4 rentals. 

It does not seem as important when you get started with one or two, but the issue keeps getting bigger

It's usually better to earn $200 less a month for one year than to sit vacant for two months, particularly in the winter.Consider a bigger drop for a 6-month lease to get through winter, then increase rent or find a new renter in the spring when competition is hotter.

Have been on bigger pockets a while, but havent made full use of the site. 

It only happened once, so you have no evidence that this is anything but an honest mistake that's been corrected.The bigger concern is the 583 credit score, because it shows a pattern of financial mismanagement.

In the meantime though, I'd try to just actively build your platform here on Bigger Pockets and just casually connect with people. 

One thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.
