Pricing and vacancy trends are hyper local but I've had to drop my rates significantly from last year's rates and I still have more vacant days in August than I have ever had in over 10 years.

I use QBO for my portfolios as well (been investing since early 2019).As long as QBO is set up correctly by someone or a firm that understands what's needed for an REI business it works great (better than the REI-specific software in my opinion).I'm happy to discuss in more detail if you'd like.Here to help!

Not if your strategy is long term buy and hold.

Closings may have shortened, but my last closing took 6 months. 

@Jaquon MillerDepends on your long term goals but based on what you wrote, I would strongly consider refinancing

Wasnt planning on raising the rent, but with last minute things now Im deciding to raise the rent.

Stick to short term notes so your money isn't wrapped up in one asset for too long. 4.

I’m eager to expand my network and forge profitable, long-term business relationships.

I am currently paying off my last bit of debt I owe to my parents, and plan to be debt free before I turn 20 at the end of August.I am definitely going to start reading some of these books to get in the fast lane.

If it’s to be your primary home until the day you sell it you don’t be affected as long as you don’t hold it long enough for it to rise too much in value. (15 years?).
