Does Bigger Pockets have a clever scheduling function on it at all?! 

You want to start out small when flipping properties and work you way up to bigger projects.

Recently, with two separate inquiries (different dates, different groups), things didn't work out.VRBO Pre-Approval blocks those dates in your calendar for 72 hours. !!

@Melanie P.I need to unpack & clear some things up from your last post for Bigger Pockets viewers.

@Raymond Charles Gretz Welcome to Bigger Pockets and I wish you the best in your investing journey!!

So we would buy the aceage and since the legal descriptions still called out lot and block we would just start to deed out the lots to get them on the tax rolls and the Assessor would change the maps. 

Management fees are steep, you're competing w/ bigger operators as well as mom & pop places - it's hard to get the personalized care needed, in my opinion, to be successful. 

You can only play games for so long.Chances are your next door neighbor is an IRS agent and turns you in when your tenants blocks their drive or some other random event disturbing your IRS neighbor.ADU catches fire and your insurance won't cover you, because it was an illegal and unpermitted structure.The city inspector told the last guy not to build or rent it, and is now pissed and wants to make an example of you and just red tags the whole property and no one can occupy for the next 1-2-3 years while you wait for a hearing.Then when you get the hearing, "staff" recommends you tear the whole structure down, and if you still want an ADU, you can apply for a permit and rebuild it.Your tenant quits paying rent and won't move out and you can't evict them, because there is no valid lease and they're just your "roommate".Probably a dozen other bad things can happen to you when you do stuff like this. 

Bigger Pockets sent out an alternative investment article which included ATM investments as a suggestion. 

I have been listening to Bigger Pockets podcast for a couple of months now and I am learning so much but still in the beginning stages of learning how to jump in to real estate investing.
