.- Then the email sits in your inbox until you address it. - For a lease renewal, you could create a reminder appt on the lease end date and add multiple reminders for 60 days, 30 days, 2 weeks - whatever makes sense for you.- You can even create filters to auto-label, set Google to put under a specific inbox tab, add a colored star, etc.Just hope you aren't one of "those people" that rarely delete or archive messages in their inbox:)

Quote from @Casey Eiland: I’m noticing an interesting shift here in Columbus:• Inventory is finally starting to loosen up• Sellers are getting more realistic with pricing• Rents are still holding strong in most sub-markets• Small multis (duplex–quad) seem to be sitting longer than last year• But good value-add stuff is getting snapped up fastFrom what I’m seeing, it feels like one of the better windows we’ve had in a while to pick up small multifamily, especially anything with below-market rents or light cosmetic rehab potential.Curious what others think, are you being more aggressive right now, or staying cautious until rates move?

On-market “trash” listingsThe stuff sitting 60–120 days that everyone ignores.

And today, sitting on multiple long-term rentals across Florida and Idaho I can confidently say this:A small, well-bought portfolio can outperform a massive, poorly managed one.Here’s why 10 properties is enough:1.

Some investors also ladder short-term Treasury bills (T-bills), especially in high-tax states like California, where federal T-bill interest is exempt from state income tax.The key is striking the right balance: you want your emergency fund to grow modestly but still be accessible when (not if) a tenant stops paying, the roof leaks, or the furnace dies mid-winter.Don’t just let your reserves sit idle.

There are a few reasons why this trend is accelerating: • Many investors are sitting on loans that no longer match the property’s performance.Older mortgages often have higher rates, shorter amortization periods, or were structured before the property stabilized.

They’re tired, neglected, and usually sitting with a long list of deferred maintenance.

Often they sit on the market and miss out.
