If guests leave a bunch of dirty dishes behind (which is more likely without a dishwasher) it could really bottleneck your turnovers. 

My own thinking is their US passport was suspended which is required to remain in Portugal if you are a holder of a temporary residence card and they had to leave??

Can you go ahead and change that (think address of record for LLCs or bills for other properties).Make sure any HOA and the local government allows for your home as an MTR.1 last point to add to Jamie's first point: if you can, take a video tour of the home and what you're leaving behind.

If it costs $500 to fill the oil tank and the tenant leaves it empty, that's $500 less you have to cover unpaid rent, cleaning, and repairs.

I'm based in the Seattle area, but my main real estate focus is in midwest market (Memphis and Detroit) To be clear, I wasn't making as much as you but I was able to put myself in position to leave my W2 . . . for now.

My progression has been google sheets -> QuickBooks -> google sheets -> Baselane and Baselane has been by far the best decision.I have a smaller portfolio, but Google Sheets takes so much time and leaves room for human error.

Your mindset is corrupted if you only think about leaving your job to be free.

That was the sales pitch that looked attracted to me and here I am 3 months after closing and no tenant, even the numbers looked good, my ROI was going to be decent, but looking at the new tax assessment next year my numbers are going to change a lot, leaving with very little cash flow.

If you set it as November 20th and a tenant still hasn't occupied by that date, leave it.

I would find a good realtor, use Kiavi or wild-cat for lending, and good contractors through your realtor, and a local PM.Then you can re-fi using a DSCR loan and leave very little money in the deal and have it cashflow.
