But once you get tenants and leases in place, lenders will really dig in to the details. 

Whatever your goals are, I'd love to help you reach them.

Most of the courses are now online, so you get very little teacher input.If you are looking for actual builder knowledge, you should be looking for in-person classes.

We know this because we stopped and asked the those tenants questions about rent, time of stay etc.

Background: I offered on a condo (still a newbie to investing myself, although this would make my third STR and second in one market), and the same day a second offer came in, higher.

The above efforts definitely helped and we thought we had the issue fixed, but the water is now smelling after the house has been vacant for a week or so.We plan to get the water tested for Sulfur, bacteria and iron.

While it’s relatively simple and can help you find deals, it’s also time-consuming.

This home had a HUGE delay that cost us thousands of dollars.The group that put in the underground plumbing dug the plumbing too low, and by the time we caught the mistake, the slab had already been poured and the septic tanks installed.We had to dig up the septic tanks, install a lift station, and reinstall the septic tanks.This all happened during 2 hurricanes, which caused even more delays.Time kills deals.This is why you need to 1) be conservative with your timelines and costs, 2) add contingencies to your budgets, and 3) have a healthy profit margin.

We have been putting most of our extra money into retirement accounts before this.

Looks awesome!!
