House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

As mentioned earlier, I have very little experience but I am eager to learn and excited to go for it in 2024! 

The main difference is that right now EV fires make the news, and are pesky to put out without that self same experience and special equipment (e.g. fire blankets).Connecting smoke detectors in the garage is a great idea: the reason that garages have traditionally had only heat sensors, no smoke detectors, was automotive fumes. 

I have about 3 years of experience flipping and building houses, as well as an associates degree in a trade, about 2 years of drywall/paint experience, around 1 year of commercial/residential electric experience, and about 3 years of landscaping experience. 

But, I have experience in exterior home remodeling sales.

The deals are harder to find in my experience but they exist.

I’d imagine experimenting with some texture could really make it look amazing.

Your experiences are invaluable, whether they're wins or lessons, and they enrich us all.

Do you have any real estate agents, with experience with OOS investors, that you could recommend?

Use it as a stepping stone and learning experience so if and or when this happens again, you know exactly how to handle the situation.
