I currently house hack in Chicago, however, going from that to STRs where I cannot self manage is a different ball game and just wanting to pick peoples brains who are doing what I'm interested in doing.  

Hey everyone,For those in the real estate game, how do you track your property expenses, labor, and other details during the renovation process, especially when managing multiple properties simultaneously (e.g., 3-5 houses)?

Can I risk building a home at the slot and sell it which will be faster than selling a lot? 

A big part of succeeding in this game is simply staying in the game.Make sure to take the lessons from this experience so it’s not in vain:•Always keep reserves.

If you don’t like fixing houses, REI probably isn’t your game if you are making 40k a year.

Then you are 'in the game' so to speak.

Most agents, I can tell you from experience, will not spend too much time on you since your so fairly new and at your purchase price your not a big fish so they will tend to put you on the back burner since heir return is not going to be a game changer.

As you have mentioned in the past, you should not put more than 10-15% of your money in one investment - so if you have $500k and want to throw $50k ok - but it still hurts. if its your first and only 50k, there are plenty of other opportunities out there to get in the game for lessFor many - Goes back to greed and FOMO as well, last few years everyone and their brother wanted to jump in on the STR and MF space because of these great returns - no different than NFT's and bitcoin before that, but when something moves up quickly, it typically drops pretty quickly as well.

It's a game to inflate each other's posts.Your DMs are probably absolutely stuffed right now.

Grateful to be part of this amazing community of go-getters and game-changers.
