Or the old standby, "we really can't afford to raise the monthly fees just because some of our costs are rising, let's just postpone that preventative maintenance project until next year".

You need to ensure YOUR house is taken care of, and already should have preventative maintenance in place for exterior issues.There certainly are differing opinions here, but I would never, ever, write a two year term for a new tenant...for all the reasons you are dealing with.

I feel guilty using my free time relaxing after studying and not building something for myself, more than anything I want to provide value and not excuses regardless of my limitations but I also need to remain realistic to prevent myself from ending up in a situation I can’t fix.

Obviously, a single room in a house will usually rent for much less than a 1 br apartment.If you do rent by the room, you'll need to develop systems for preventing and managing housemate disputes, keeping the common areas clean (a cleaner might be worthwhile), screening tenants to find people who will be good housemates, etc....there are just more moving pieces to sort out if you rent by the room (but, as a result, you usually make more money).

Something that I do is I have my virtual assistants send a message right after someone has booked that mentions any shortcomings in the property and asks the guest if they are OK with this and tells them otherwise they should cancel immediately.And I have my offshore assistants keep following up with the guests until they acknowledge and confirm that they are OK with the list of shortcomings that we sent them.You should start doing this to prevent future issues and headaches“Thanks for booking, we are excited to host you.

Granted, I know that's what the move in condition report is for but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...if you don't send the pictures prior to move in, do you have another way to prevent this from happening?

Federal Reserve has reached the peak of its aggressiveness in hiking rates, with some saying they’re ready to up risky positions again.They already said they wanted to raise rates to 3.5% by the end of 2022.Federal Reserve’s plan is to raise rates and QT aggressively, crash the market, then step in and ease when inflation is down to prevent a 1929 type of depression.Don’t fight the FED.

Just make sure there are no roadblocks that will prevent you from executing your plan so you are confident the yield you expect to reach on the backside is achievable.
