Currently I'm looking for some kind of methodology, software or app, that I can use to manage the properties, which will allow for another family member to step in to my role relatively seamlessly if I were to pass in the future.

As soon as housekeeping gives the green light I reach out, thank them for being great guests and offer 15% off a future booking if they make it within 2 weeks.

But this will also lead to future inflation.The issue is going to be the rich will get richer as they can live with lower cash flow but gain appreciation.

@Tanner KingWhen I analyze a house hack deal, I focus on metrics like GRM, Cap Rate, Cash Flow, House Hack Savings, and Future Rent Potential.
