Bean counters need to focus on their tasks and perform them in batches to prevent large problems.

The issue that I see often is those who have no real estate experience getting into STR for the tax benefits.Most people taking advantage of this strategy are likely making at least $78 an hour at their job($150,000 / 40 hours / 48 weeks).Most people who are doing real estate for the first time are likely inefficient with the process as they compete with others who do this full time.They are likely putting in hours doing tasks that may be $15 an hour or even negative if they are inefficient.Plus, if you are working a full-time job, the added stress of managing a rental.Many people would be better off spending that 100+ hours doing consulting in the field that they work in to generate more money which can go to the purchase of a new investment property.Best of luck
