If my retirement goal is to generate $10K per month following the 4% rule I would need $2.5M to retire.

Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of each approach based on my experience:Tenant Swapping:Pros:Tenant Retention: Keeps the property occupied, which helps avoid vacancy periods.Minimizes Turnover Costs: No need for cleaning, marketing, or re-screening tenants if the new person is already known.Flexibility for Tenants: Can be seen as a more tenant-friendly approach, allowing them to find a replacement without facing penalties.Cons:Risk of Unknown Tenants: The new tenant might not be as reliable as the original one, leading to potential issues down the line.Lease Violations or Delays: If the new tenant doesn’t meet the lease requirements or fails to sign a new agreement, this can lead to complications.Operational Complexity: Keeping track of the lease terms, managing paperwork, and ensuring proper screening for new tenants can increase administrative work.Notice for All (One Notice to Vacate for Everyone):Pros:Clear Expectations: Everyone knows what’s expected, and there are no surprises with last-minute tenant changes.Consistency: Easier to manage leases and tenant turnover with a straightforward system.Quality Control: You can screen all tenants that are moving in, ensuring the new occupant meets your standards.Cons:Longer Vacancy Periods: The property may stay vacant for longer, especially if finding a replacement tenant takes time.Tenant Frustration: Current tenants may not be happy with the requirement to vacate, even if they want to stay.Marketing and Re-screening Costs: You’ll have to go through the process of finding and screening new tenants, potentially leading to increased costs and downtime.I’d love to hear what others are doing!

Also the expenses should be reported to the business activity (the property) they legally are generated from; not necessarily the entity they are paid through.

Either idea is good - wholesaling your leads or keeping them, or a combo. 

Now to the bad news: it is REALLY hard to be a 20yo real estate agent and make a living wage, let alone generate cash for a down payment.

I am estimating to generate $8k per month net profit, on the low end. 

I’m currently with a group that will be building homes in specific markets, and it would be really helpful to have a tool that can generate data and reports in Excel spreadsheets for easy analysis.I’ve heard of CloudCMA, but I wanted to get opinions on whether this would be the best fit for our needs or if there are other programs that might be better suited to the homebuilding industry.Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated!

Together, we can pave the way for the next generation of real estate billionaires.

They need a well-designed workspace, ultra-fast Wi-Fi, and long-stay conveniences like a washer/dryer and a fully equipped kitchen.Why This Matters for Your ROI:When your STR feels tailor-made for a specific type of guest, it stands out in a crowded market—leading to higher occupancy, better reviews, and repeat bookings.
