I have small 675 sqft house under contract in my area (Puyallup).

In general, it is always good to look at the taxable value every year for your property while you still own it when the tax statement comes.If you feel you can support a lower taxable value with sold comparables that are like your property nearby, then it is worth your time to try to dispute the value.It is true there is a very short timeframe to schedule a time to go in and dispute the taxable value with your local property tax assessor usually and the deadline is printed on the annual tax statement.The reality is real estate does not always go up in value.To your success!

The property management company I work closely with has over 200 STR properties under management and it has worked amazingly for us thus far.Let me know if you have ant more questions, I'm happy to help.Best, Mike  They are VERY expensive and be careful about the duration of their contract as well

I learned SO much reading and editing BiggerPockets contributors that I turned around and did a bunch of my own deals — a flip, 2 house hacks, 2 short-term rentals, and one long term.

Our recent mid-term rental guests moved out and left the place immaculate.

Two units are year round, two are mid term.

I will look into the fine print of the lease contract. 

I’ve heard from countless people over the years who made their construction financing decisions strictly based on the term sheet terms and have had miserable experiences.

I would have done things a little differently in terms of purchasing our second property, knowing what I know now.

@Michael AndersonIf you are looking for long-term growth, you aren't going to find it in Springfield, OH.
