Strategic marketing highlighted these upgrades, making the property stand out in the market and contributing to its sale at $260,000.

I am looking for a way to log all the hours and activity spent on the properties. 1. 

I feel like we have good systems in place and it is something we feel we are good at and also enjoy!  

The 500-hour rule means spending at least 500 hours actively managing your rental property, which could include things like tenant communication, maintenance, and bookkeeping.You can also group multiple properties together as one “activity” to make reaching the hours easier.

At this stage, I’m planning to rely on the lender’s appraisal, though I’m concerned it may come in just above the asking price rather than capturing the property’s full potential.Has anyone encountered a similar situation?

However, how much they’ll see can depend on brokerage policies, so it’s worth confirming with them directly.Transaction Coordination: It sounds like you’re used to having a support system in place, so doing it solo may feel a bit different at first.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

If people are looking to set up a MTR it is very misleading and if someone is looking for a place it also matches even if your property is too far from the major city that is searched resulting in leads that aren't really a match. 

The model works, and it's all about consistency at the end.

Water and sewage main laterals are all at the street running perpendicular to the lots, Power/Internet lines as well.
