He also will tell me when the thinks I should take a different approach or am wrong, and I listen.So, the things I'd draw from this are, setting clear expectations with the landlords you work with, and maintaining a good rapport with tenants (that does reduce vacancy rates and people moving out, in my view), and being willing to go the extra mile (within reason).

Taking your own money out and buying another property while maintaining equity in the property you cashed out on.I think overall the numbers have to make sense (and they often do) eg. your mortgage was $1000 before but now it’s $1400 after the Re-Fi, but you are still renting it out for more than $1400, and now you have a second propery bringing in cash now as well.I’m following this thread as I am still learning myself!

Mom is in her 90s and needing way more care, we've added $1000/mo in care assistance just this year and that is not covering a lot of care hours.

Your offer to assist will likely be best received if you can provide more specifics, like where you are physically located, what kind of skills or training (if any) you already have, the number of hours you'd have available to work each weekend, and what compensation (if any) you're looking to receive.Good luck!

Did you collect a security deposit to assist?
