I’m no polished writer, and my grammar might not be perfect, but I hope to find some fun and value in posting here regularly.

I've learned that the unexpected always happens, whether it's delays or unforeseen expenses, so having a system in place to monitor finances regularly helps make adjustments before they become bigger issues.

I worked in sales before going full time in my rental property business- making 5k plus $120/mo could have been done in a regular job with less work than doing a BRRR SFR.Your family and your well being are too important to put on the back burner!

Also Airbnb does prioritize things like looser cancellation policies, instant book, in line with market cleaning fees, etc.

Basically completed just needed some clean up from construction, so to be expected. 

The GFC unfortunately hit all of us lenders pretty hard and I had a concentration in Jackson and ATL and Memphis so I had to move to Jackson for a year to clean up my portfolio I thought I was going to be there for maybe a few weeks but that turned out to be a year and I got very fortunate I was able to rent the developers house at Reunion .

Start analyzing deals regularly.

We painted the outside, cleaned up the backyard, changed the fireplace, changed kitchen countertops and backsplash, added accent wallks.

Currently I have a regular primary homeowner insurance policy on the house as it was our primary home for the past year.

The only people that are going to tell you you're going to clean up are PMs and RE agents.
