Learn the basics of what a good deal looks like and how to find them.

Bob is very good on the customer support and that being said... they are the only company other than myself that I have invested with  basically EVER... as I do my own deals.But I had money stacking up in my SDRA and of course I can't self deal.. so I chose one of his new investments which is more akin to what I like.. quicker turn and high IRR...

Next time if you’re not going to use an inspector then do a basic inspection yourself.

I am basically counting on the values appreciating over the next 2-3 years and possibly refinancing it later.

Basically, what I said was it would be good to get the best of both worlds.

I feel I have a good handle on the basic best practices and will be listing the property on Zillow shortly. 

Understand that they are doing this to make a profit, so it will be more expensive than coordinating maintenance yourself.It may be a decent program for a DIY owner that wants to just outsource maintenance, but you will have the same maintenance issues with this company that you would with a PMC:1) Higher costs2) Admins answering the phones & assigning work, that just know the basics about maintenance.

Everyone that has more than 1 or 2 properties should have some kind of basic spreadsheet that demonstrates how much that property is bringing in after all your fixed costs are accounted for, at a minimum - PITI, lawn care, HOA fees, etc.

As @Robin Smith mentioned, for assessing demand I used FurnishedFinder.com/stats; you can see demand data for a given city and some pricing data too.

What would you assess your personal success rate is for 2024?
