My partner and I have bought a few homes now.

Hey All, My name is Austin L Smith and I am a CPA offering bookkeeping to landlords, STR managers, and other Real Estate professionals.

Then it didn’t pass the city inspection because of landscaping debris and tree branches that fell in my yard, so I put in $5k more.After 6 months of vacancy, a new tenant moved in and immediately began complaining about everything.

After a certain number of calls to the same property within an annual period, the city starts charging my company per call (~$250/call).

See what I did:)I would make sure my investment business was separate from my personal business.

And yeah reach out to my team. 

I recommend to all my property management clients to institute RUBS/Sense etc, there's really great tools nowadays to put systems in place to measure these items, be it water or electric. 

Hi everyone, I've been in my home for 3 years now and I'm looking to purchase a new home and convert my current property to a long term rental.

with my agent, knowing the numbers, and finding the correct kind of distressed situation.

If I spent $12,000 furnishing it, that would be a 40% return on my investment to make it an MTR.
