I add things into my lease like: all pets must have nails clipped at all times; pet waste to be picked up in yard no less than 3 times per week; cat litter boxes to be cleaned daily; etc.

If you are weary of the landlord-tenant laws, I recommend having a property management company do the daily activities so you do not have to spend hours trying to keep up with the rules and regulations that are constantly changing here.As a small multifamily owner myself, I highly recommend finding a deal in the Portland Metro area.

While I firmly believe in crypto and how various layer 1 protocols will transform how businesses operate, and that the 1-5 year price outlook is fantastic, that doesn't mean that in the short term its not soul crushing to see your portfolio balance fluctuate by hundreds of thousands of dollars on a near daily basis.

And then he calls his buddy at Code Enforcement that sits next to him at the office, and they start adding a daily fine, like $500....And that quickly turns into $50,000.

I will be up front and vulnerable in saying that I am a complete novice in real-estate investing; however, constantly learning on a daily basis.
