I'll definitely play it safe.

While profit is undoubtedly important for any business, a property management company that prioritizes customer satisfaction—both for owners and tenants—often leads to long-term success.For property owners, a good property manager is definitely worth it because they bring peace of mind, reduce risks, and often save money in the long run.

I definitely would like to have my own personal BRRR properties etc, but I want to learn the market and learn the game and yes replace my W2.

If you want to call them deceit, knock yourself out.What is your definition of real numbers? 

I definitely need to do more analysis in terms of comparing against other rentas in the area and ideal beds and heads count. 

Definitely filing that under “things I’ll do differently next time.”About the appraisal discrepancy—it’s frustrating, but you’re probably right that it’s not a huge shock since I didn’t make any changes to the property.

I definitely see some pros there.

I don't think we are going to be able to come up with $50K before they're going to need to move and no, definitely no family members able to gift $50K. 

The ones who bought cheaper properties trying to fix up had mixed results with one getting hustled by a contractor and definitely going into the red.

It’s definitely worth exploring if you’re looking for a robust management tool.
