So I understand the internals and GAAP.Recently we replace Quickbooks and Xero altogether.

Some people shift to mid-term rentals (30+ days) to stay compliant, others just avoid those markets altogether.

Negotiating on new construction is a different animal altogether, but there are techniques that you can utilize, especially when you are ahead of the development or negotiating with builder reps.

Or do you use another method altogether?

Nope, I stopped hunting altogether when I tapped out in '22.

Can I ask for an inspection anyways or should I just avoid those altogether? 

I’m also not out here calling hard money a scam or saying business credit is the only way, yet I see plenty of people here dismissing business credit altogether while promoting their own preferred funding methods.At the end of the day, every financing tool has its place, and investors need to be educated on how to use them properly.

I see what you are getting at because I have a 2 bedroom that is occupied by 1-2 people 85% of the time, so giving up that bedroom might not hurt revenue much at all, but finding an indoor amenity that consistently boosts revenue for that guest avatar is another challenge altogether. 

So while I think it's easy, apparently its not so easy for the 90% of people that try to do it.Additionally 87% of those who attempt to become agents, fail out of the business altogether.

Some investors love it, some avoid it altogether—it really depends on your goals and tolerance for variability.Personally, I’d recommend leaning toward median-priced homes in a given market rather than staying at the extreme low end.
