I’ve gathered a lot of knowledge over the last 8 years but I’ve failed to act on it.

For copper water lines, I wouldn't look to replace buried lines until they actually fail for the same reasons and again if doing work on the interior I will often replace with PEX as Im getting other work done.

The second one is not when you failed to install security cameras.You could go after the PM and contractor for failing to install the security system.

I think the worst are the ones that will say they can do something for you or bring something to you then do nothing at all/fail to follow up or stay in touch (lack systems, organizational skills, and actual work to produce).

If not (or if they fail to respond), I send them a 30 day notice to quit when I'm 30 days out from the end of the lease - in accordance with the Michigan eviction process.

Ninety percent of agents fail or quit in the first couple of years because they think the job is easy or they can do it as a side hustle, but why would any client want to work with a part-timer?

@Jacqueline LeeIt’s real but the scales are not equal and heavily weighted to those with experience and their own moneySo if you have no experience and no money - your odds are low as why would someone lend you money?

We found in our research that even at the increased price-point, a mountain view is worth its weight in gold.

Brandon, I know this isn't the advice you're looking for but a good tax professional is worth their weight in gold and I'll be honest their quote can be reasonable.

What most fail to do (which you haven't), is underwrite all the other expenses like property management, landscaping, repairs and maintenance, capital expenditures, etc.
