In this process of analyzing deals, I have realized that if the property is not falling under the 1% rule ( I know it's quick math ) I don't even look at that my cash flow drops to 5-6% But Some of them are very nice homes in good areas and I am skipping over those just because on paper they don't seem like a good deal.

All the skip tracing software I use give numbers that are out of order.

For a huge single-family house with many bedrooms and a guest house, we are considering Airbnb STRs, a bed and breakfast type of thing.Please suggest a property management company in Houston.Or would it make sense to hire a live-in property manager/ administrator?

There are both free and paid softwares that can help you automate mundane tasks and free up your time to focus on your goals and grow your business..Find ways to mute distractions: Whenever you need to focus on one task, close down your email, put your phone on do not disturb, turn off notifications and set a timer for exactly how long you have to spend on the task at hand and ignore all distractions until the time is up or your task is completed.Utilize time blocking: If you aren’t sure how you currently spend your time or don’t ever seem to have enough time in the day, try a time blocking exercise for at least 3 days where you write down everything you did throughout the day - 6:00-6:15: Ate breakfast, 6:15-6:35: reviewed MLS listings, etc.
