My experiences growing up in a small town and living through extreme uncertainty have shaped who I am and what I believe in: the power of community and the power of real estate.

The .5 bath is a small space, but is manageable by making a corner vanity, and by making the door swing in the other direction. 

My husband was paying our bookkeeper $450/month to do our books (for a small number of properties!!)

I integrate with Pricelabs (dynamic pricing) and ResortCleaning (cleaners) and that's all I need.II do use Quickbooks for bookkeeping but my bookkeeper just pulls the Airbnb and VRBO statements directly from those sites, so I don't really need an integration there. 

Small banks are all about deposits.. 

In an attempt to address this "fairly" we have 3 categories:Maintenance: small jobs our handymen can easily & quickly handle like faucet & drain leaks, caulking, snaking drains, tightening loose handrails, etc.Since the list can be exhaustive to define, we capped this category at $x, which is also tied to our owner approval threshold for efficiency. 

Just a small thank you for the support.Hope to stay connected!

If you know of any meet ups or events that I can attend or even a mentor please point me in the right direction. 

"I focus on working directly with property owners by becoming their last tenant — basically combining the role of tenant and property manager into one.

That’s because:You’ll likely need to register as a foreign LLC in the property’s state anyway, which adds cost and paperwork.States like Texas, Florida, or Ohio (common REI states) may have lower filing/annual fees or better asset protection laws.Tax Considerations: Income from the rental is usually taxed in the state where the property sits—not where you live—so forming the LLC locally can simplify tax filings and compliance.Liability Protection: Forming the LLC in the state where the property is located also strengthens your liability shield and avoids legal confusion if something goes wrong.Avoid Delaware/Nevada Hype (for rentals): These states are often recommended for corporations, but they usually don’t offer practical benefits for small RE investors unless you're running a national business.In short: Form your LLC in the state where the property is located unless you plan to scale across multiple states—then you may want to consider a holding company structure.
