I’m not opposed to driving for dollars or local meetups, but those are not feasible from a distance.Between now and the end of the year, my goals are to:- Read four REI books, including David Greene’s Long-Distance Real Estate Investing- Analyze 200 deals in areas that we’re interested in purchasing some STRs- Build a relationship with some banks and real estate agentsMy goal in 2022 is to purchase two or three properties.

Painted both of the bedrooms I rented out (one of them was a horrendous blue color) and did some cheap curb appeal fix-ups (mulch, cleaning, etc.)!

Once I take my dog for a walk, play with him, do some cleaning, and sit down to eat dinner, I'm usually brain dead for the day!

For instance I own a cleaning company and have about 4 different policy in place for my protection.

The turnover itself required some cleaning they missed (under appliances, mopping, windows, cleaning carpets, etc), carpet replacement (normal wear and tear) and painting which I know I can't charge for, but were an expense I had sooner than planned with their early termination.  

I had a brief conversation with @David Greene today on Instagram and thought it might be worth sharing in the forums. 

that is a lot of bathrooms to clean and if you have a maid an extra expense.

It's still possible to get it done w/ clean terms!
