Note I 100% know that CPM is not LTR PM with a few tweaks- I have lived and practiced this for over two decades.

Reuben, I like Joshua’s perspective here, especially the part about not boxing yourself in on the first deal.From both a tax and practical standpoint, house hacking is often a great place to start, and it fits well with the areas you’re looking in, especially since it already aligns with your lifestyle.

Requiring you to resend a detailed annual task spreadsheet every week while refusing to use your management or hospitality app creates unnecessary friction and defeats the purpose of systematizing operations, especially when you are self-managing and working full time.In practice, most owners set clear, standardized cleaning checklists once, use an app or shared document for communication and expect cleaners to confirm completion, not require weekly manual resends.

Really enjoyed reading this — super practical take on running a lean, profitable wholesaling business today.

Seeing the city acknowledge that friction and take a practical step to reduce it is encouraging.

Here is my replied to PM:I would like to formally respond regarding the overpayment issue and outline a clear path to resolution.Based on widely accepted industry standards and professional property management practices (including feedback from experienced property owners and managers), this situation is understood to be a management error, not a vendor recovery issue.

Personally I think Josh himself is innocent but the company definitely is involved in shady and deceptive business practices.

For residential properties under $500k, a streamlined engineering approach like KBKG's is typically the most cost-effective and practical choice, providing the necessary audit support at the right price point.

I know that it makes no sense at all; millions of businesses practice across state lines and beyond. 

You've got many practical strategies here @Bob DoleIn my honest remarks, I also had the same advantage in my passive rental income.
