The Guest Who Shows Up, Follows All the Rules, and Leaves You a GiftComp: Justin Jefferson – Silent but elite.They read the guidebook, respected the checkout time, and left a thank-you card… with snacks.

It’s basically a roommate who doesn’t pay rent and eats my snacks. 

Quote from @Priscilla Rodriguez: My name is Priscilla Rodriguez, and I’m a former Florida Realtor turned aspiring multifamily investor, currently diving deep into the world of underwriting (and trying not to drown in spreadsheets I’m looking to connect with a commercial or multifamily lender in or near Lake Mary, FL who’s willing to share their underwriting knowledge — someone who doesn’t mind a curious mind and a lot of questions (I promise I bring snacks and good energy).I’m so committed to learning the process the right way that I’m happy to intern or shadow you for free.

I also include a pet toy if they have one, small bottle of champagne, and some snacks.

That said, your GC fee + interest + all those sneaky soft costs are definitely nibbling away at your profit like a toddler with a snack they’re “just going to try.”Quick tip: On tighter ARV margins like this, you either need to trim down reno costs (maybe a mix of GC + subbing some tasks out), or only go after deals with at least a 15–20% cushion after everything’s said and done.

The little stuff goes a long way  Snacks on the counter for guests to have after a long road trip, cheap universal phone chargers next to every bed, digital guidebook with all the details, recommendations, and directions; all these are inexpensive, fairly easy to do and make a huge difference.

Instead of looking at two leveraged properties, maybe the best use of the equity you have locked up is to trade what you've currently got for something that could outperform it in the long haul, and be more tasty for a lender to refinance when the timing is right. 

Keep the back bar with the sink and mini fridge for snacks, drinks, and a fun movie-night vibe.

I bought a 3lb bag of popcorn that snack on while reading BP forums hahahaI think with OOS investing whether with an agent, turnkey company, investors need to do tons of due diligence.

The vacant property needed some work, and I spent a month or two rehabbing it, and patronized a bodega for snacks a few times a day.
