Chad Carson is legit. Local Clemson guy. Played linebacker. He has owned 100 properties and learned over the years that simpler is better sometimes. You should really check him out. Highly recommend.


 WE AGREE!

Quote from @Erin Church:

When doing a little planning with our CPA, my family felt we needed around a dozen or so rentals to be comfortable. Our CPA insisted that we need at least 20 units to minimize risk. I'd love to hear how to safeguard against risk of non-paying tenants with the idea that pandemics/eviction moratoriums can happen.

 @Chad Carson Spoiler: do you REALLY only work two hours a week?!

Oh boy have we come a long way in just 6 years! I think I posted this my first week on the job at BiggerPockets. 

Not only do I still have that first property I mentioned I was looking for in this post, I have 16 MORE doors with my husband

I'm also still in publishing at BP 😉

@Joshua Janus Agreed on the suggestion to read biggerpockets books!

@Paul Sandhu

@John Underwood

@Michael Baum

 Very thankful for you OGs and for keeping the forums alive all these years!!! See ya next week @Luke Carl and @Avery Carl! We'll stop by when we're visiting our place on 30A!

Great responses everyone, thank you! 

To everyone who said "why wouldn't you just put in kind sized beds?"
Well, we purchased the properties fully furnished already with queen beds in place. If I was starting from scratch, yes for sure would buy a king bed. But, now the problem is, "Do I get rid of a perfectly *fine* queen sized bed to pay for an upgraded king-sized bed (and king-sized linens) or do I keep it as is and make other adjustments to get more bookings?" 

I am feeling especially silly about not realizing the queen sized beds could have been a factor in less bookings because, personally, when I travel with my 6'4" husband, I look for king-sized beds. 

I will make the upgrade when we visit the properties this weekend and report back how it goes! 

Special thanks to @Mark Kazmierski for the hot tip on lightly used beds. How do you find the companies selling them, Mark?
