Designed so that if our staff is speaking with a tenant on a Tuesday and tenant states they can pay on Friday payday, we can flex a little. 6) We train our staff to be empathetic, but firm. 7) We have to train owners to protect them from themselves.

Quote from @Tom Frost: I have been looking into different training programs for unique investment strategies and the Tax Delinquent Blueprint run by Jason Palliser is an interesting one I've come across.

In Bryson City you have a popular tourist train (GSMR), one of the largest casino's in the Southeast, the Nantahala Outdoor Center, the second largest lake in NC, and some of the most notorious fly fishing rivers in the US. 

If you’re planning a house hack, you’ll likely need to refinance or switch to a conventional loan for your next property.Landscaping is a good move—it can boost value and reduce ongoing maintenance.

Train your team to treat every inquiry as urgent.

A few tips for getting started:Start with turnkey long-term rentals (LTRs):These properties are often already leased and cash-flowing, so you can generate income immediately.They require less hands-on management than flipping or short-term rentals, which is perfect if your schedule is busy.They’re a great way to learn the ropes without being overwhelmed.Focus on markets with strong cash flow:Out-of-state markets in the Midwest and Southeast tend to have lower purchase prices and higher rental yields compared to high-cost areas.This allows you to scale faster while keeping your risk manageable.Build a team early:Partner with a property manager, property source provider, and maybe a contractor for ongoing maintenance.Even if you’re investing remotely, a solid team makes everything easier and protects your time.Learn and grow gradually:Start with one property to get hands-on experience.Once comfortable, you can scale, consider small multi families, or explore STRs if that interests you later.Investing doesn’t have to be overwhelming - start small, use turnkey options to simplify cash flow, and build confidence along the way.Always happy to chat more about what's worked for other investors.

I'm an avid student of martial arts & train everyday.

I have written a training manual for my bird dogs ( I call them property scouts) that covers what Im looking for, how to find it and how to market for it. ( i have three that are doing their own marketing campaigns) This way there is a clear path on what is expected from both parties.

’ve had hot tubs for a while, and in the past, I made the mistake of hiring a so-called “hot tub expert” at $2K a month—only to end up with poor service, dirty water, and even guest complaints about bacteria.Here’s how I solved it:Created my own SOP – as a co-host, I trained my cleaners on how to properly balance the water.
