Investing is not a smooth road and when the bumps hit the last thing you want is bad debt hanging over your head that can, and often will, bankrupt investors.

How did you make it a smooth transition?

Some of these things I have known about and have been dealing with,  a few of the others have just come to light this week, thanks to an angry ex-wife.I have done almost daily inspections, filed comply of vacate letters, sent text after text, and I'm just hoping for a smooth transition without having to evict.  

It's brown and reminds me of finer pieces of OSB board.It's smooth (no fake grain lines) and measures around 8.75inches, maybe a touch wider. 

If you're 2 years from retirement, you need the least risky thing possible, which would just be paying down that primary residence. 25 years from retirement, you've got some time and can take some risk, since any bumps in the road will smooth out over the long term.

I'm hoping to buy my 1st property in the Jacksonville area using BRRRR and reading this certainly gave a good insight into how it will go (but unlikely as smooth!!).

Hi Iyan, Yes, I'd suggest speaking to a local agent who could help make a smooth transition for the tenant and new owner.

Your transactions will not be as smooth as they would be with an agent that is doing 5 million a year in sales.That’s my biased opinion, but it comes from frustration of dealing with low volume agents that make life more difficult.

I tested the top five software programs and settled on Buildium which was perfect for my needs and great for my budget.Two years later, things were flowing smoothly but I had identified a couple shortfalls with Buildium that were requiring too much time or for me to use different software.

@Charles Kennedy - For Vinyl Plank, make SURE it's installed perfectly, so it's smooth "like a sheet."
