Including parameters around the care and usuage of additional kitchen appliances or smart technology around safety could be helpful.

I had one tenant who bred pitbulls in a neighborhood where i own 16 units on the block. 5 of me tenants plus my handy man had purchased a dog from them and out of all 5 that moved out including the breeder every single property had damage to moldings doors and walls from dog scratches.

Now I'm slowing getting all my tax docs ready for my CPA but I'm confused on how bookings in Dec 2023 affect my 2023 taxes.So for the bookings that happened at the end of last year Dec 2023 but didn't get paid out until Jan 2024, do I include these bookings/income for the 2023 tax year? 

if you buy without being able to be present in person, then all that DIY skill that you have built up is wasted.

I'm closing doors and presently rehabbing to sell out.

Make sure to look at multiple strategies including buying existing, remodeling, new construction and see what strategy is for you.

This has been said but posting in as many places is definitely the best route and including local/national FB groups. 

@Hen Ley - For myself, I've always included both borrower and lender title insurance policy coverage to protect myself and my private lenders, and this expense is completely on my buyer's side of the HUD at closing to cover this expense on behalf of my lender.

Everything else, including whether to invest locally or in other markets comes secondary.  

Have a personal budget that includes your meals and some new boots and some new clothes, haircuts,  and things like that every once in a while.
