I don't expect material improvements until 2026 at the earliest. 

Little paint and the contractor I found let me buy the material and only charged me labor.

@Sean Michael San Diego's real estate market can be a tough call for renters vs. buyers! 

It was a tough moment, but it pushed me to focus on preparation and delivering my message with confidence. 

But like others have said, it's a tough time of year to fill vacancies.

I agree, shorter-term plays are tough in the current environment, and patience paired with a strong strategy often leads to success, unfortunately this is a strategy that a lot of real estate investors don’t really have the experience and the patience to follow.

These templates cover various aspects of subcontracting, including responsibilities, materials, and liabilities3.

However, I do not know who this could be beyond a property manager which would not work in my case since I am looking to self manage for both tax (material participation in STR loophole) and profitability reasons. 

Go to Omaha and Sioux city tomorrow for inspections and client meets. 3. close new loan with my bank unsecured ( those babys can be tough to get).4. get my mind ready for 9 grandkids at the house this is the toughest one :)  Patience 5. firm up goals for 25 solidify my new clients that I have gotten in Q 4 24.

In this case though, it makes it very tough to keep the current property cash flowing if I pull the money out through the HELOC though (while it's not directly added to the mortgage, it all still washes out into much larger monthly payments) though, so I am very leary!
