Welcome @Sartaj Ghai,Sounds like you are off to a good start and have the right long term mentality to go far with this!

You could try to have a flat hourly rate with them but in my experience, I like to do it by the job so that it keeps everyone honest.

The project got off to a slow start with the building department.

Per the subject started, I'm now just doing the same as most.....Using my primary platform for ad syndication and Zillow as a separate advertising platform due to their market reach. 

I love that you rented two of your bedrooms as mid term and short term rentals and made enough to pay for the mortgage and now you are going to use the rental income to show you can qualify for another property.This is an excellent strategy and one more people should consider doing in this inflationary environment to offset the biggest cost in their budget--housing.As you rightly point out, you can use this strategy with every house you buy accumulating a portfolio of houses that you originally started out living in as a primary residence every two years.Well done and more people should consider doing the same, or rent their garage, or shed, or a boat, or an extra car.Love it!

It was a dream purchase for me and my wife, but after joining Bigger Pockets and all the great folks on here helped my move into the STR game.We ended up with a standard 2nd home mortgage that was almost immediately transferred so we just started listing it on VRBO and AirBNB.

Lastly, I'm a current homeowner and have started to think about our next move.

At the foreclosure sale the investor showed up and at the start of the auction began shouting that this was an illegal property repossession and anyone bidding for the property would be sent to jail!
