Oops, game over, you lost.

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)?

I've found the same when using pricing tools, but I've heard from others that it's been a game changer for their business...

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.  

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.

Credit scores are a reflection of someone's ability to learning and understanding the rules of the game and haveing the discipline to play by them.If you already have good credit, already pay everything on time (autopay), then increaseing your limits will probably help you the most, because it gets your utilization down, ideally under 10%.Higher hanging fruits are average credit and account age (just have to wait for that I guess) and inquiries, which are sometimes unavoidable as real estate investors.  

It has taken the last 6 months of the year to come to terms with an essentially game changing mindset: "Track the input and let the effort determine the outcomes"Initially I wanted reach a goal of $100,000 in a year wholesaling real estate.

Nice thing here is property maintenance/expenses is turned over to the tenant/owner and you're out of the landlord game, but still get monthly income.
