My goal would be to secure my first property by 2025, reinvest in 3-4 properties by 2028, and refine systems for scalability by 2029, using tech tools to stay organized and effective.Good luck!

I've learned that the unexpected always happens, whether it's delays or unforeseen expenses, so having a system in place to monitor finances regularly helps make adjustments before they become bigger issues.

If the awnser is better systems, what would be a practical way to resolve a situation like this.

The system only requires about 1 minute a month to recoup heating cost. 

There have been at least 3 studies that show this is true for virtually every large city in the US (you can internet search this).- buy and hold is currently tough in San Diego.  

What a great support system I’m am impressed! 

You can reduce size, if you go deeper, but that only works if you have steep sites or are willing to add a pump system to the outlet. 

This includes, water, hot water, heat, air conditioning, cable, security system, snow removal, lawn care.

New systems from Arrow Lift allow you to jack a house up in a single day, but I have not seen many contractors in the area that use them yet.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.
