I have been watching YouTube videos religiously until a local investor pointed me in The BP direction.

Take this information and organize it in a general reference file/take religious notes, and start picking and choosing what you think you can apply to your real estate hustle.

I was stunned when a light sleeper who was awakened at 7:00 in the morning on their vacation by the water we were running for a few moments in our kitchen sink upstairs from their apartment, still gave us a solid, straight 5 star review. 

Follow the applicable tenancy act religiously.

When we were looking at houses it never occurred to me to consider the cost of flood insurance (we live in the mountains of NC) so it was a rude awakening to see the crazy numbers.

If a non-profit religious organization, they will have a list for that, too.

For example, if they're religious and they never want a liquor store occupying the property.

I recently found out I'm working on Easter and I am a very religious person so I obviously object to that.

Accepted practice is not what you read in forums posted by 200 folks, such posts are often unethical and unfair dealings or can be, accepted practice is more to practices that a judge would determine acceptable, what regulators consider acceptable or law enforcement, it's not your opinion based on how one was raised or personal views or religious convictions.Ethics is very much part of the foundation for any successful business, it's an area many never study or consider as they often think they know or that by doing things others do will keep them within acceptable limits.

For the "new" investor that doesn't know you need to spend another $7K per year in wind insurance or that they have to add costs to turnover furnishings, pay for internet, pay for DirecTV, etc. it's usually a rude awakening.
