Adapt itInsurance-  make sure your property and liability insurance provider is geared towards your business and not just the same one you use for personal.  

I’ve made a conscious effort in automating and digitizing more of my rental management tasks and can share some of the tools I've been exploring that might be helpful to others.I use Baselane a lot, it is a platform that's really geared towards landlords and real estate investors.

I consider our weekly training calls (all 4 of them) to be more of a business meeting where we bring what we are working on and discuss it with people that can help us work through the problems.And to leave you with one last thought . . . you can read articles for free for years, but you have nothing invested in yourself but time . . . if that will kick you into gear and get you to do something . . . great . .
