In what other field would you trust the person who owes you money to tell you how much they owe you?

@Dustin Tucker Thank you!

You don't buy land and then entitle it unless you can sell it and still make money if your plan works.

If you use insurance to make ordinary repairs, it will eventually drive up costs.

Are you generally seeing cash flow positive deals from day 1?

Hey @Devin Bost, I would highly recommend a few things to help with this. 1) Have systems and processes lined out for any emergency you can think of.2) A spreadsheet of subcontractors/ vendors that could handle the situation that arises (plumbing leak, electric out somewhere, etc.)3) Your cleaning team and handy person should be utilized for some things.4) Something like Breezeway can give you 24/7 support around your property with a dedicated phone number line.

If you are familiar with Nashville, The Nations, is what i think of.

Appreciation is not as much as Santa Teresa though.I hosted a few open houses in the PebbleTree and Santa Teresa neighborhood a few months back and talked to the neighbors there, so feel free to reach out if there is anything specific you have question about!

We listen to the podcast and have started reading the books but the analysis paralysis is real especially having the money to actually do something and never having this much in our bank before at once! 

When I decided to dump the last PM, I went on my community FB page and asked for recommendations.
