Quote from @Nathan Rudibaugh: I would love this community's input on a slightly unusual real estate partnership.

He guesses "unusual" expenses that will go away if he is ever back in charge.

@Edward SegaarIt’s not unusual for some management companies to wait until a property is vacant to advertise, but many others will start marketing ahead of time to minimize vacancy.

[While labor markets remain in balance], “it is a curious kind of balance that results from a marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers….This unusual situation suggests that downside risks to employment are rising.

I think it is unusual for these type scenarios to cover expenses or cash flow.

Not much going on except for an unusual amount of service calls the last month from all but 1 property.

This feels a little unusual to me.

This is not unusual, but you need to have roles and responsibilities clearly defined - and that is verry important to a successful outcome. 

Now I’m testing a setup where:- I snap a receipt → it’s auto-tagged to the right property- Bank transactions get sorted instantly by category- Anything uncertain gets flagged for me to approveThe long game (and what I’m building into a native app) is to have that same system handle rent reminders, lease tracking, and repair follow-ups—so expense tracking isn’t a whole separate job.I’m piloting this with a few landlords now—happy to share what’s working if you want the details.

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth switching to mid-term/long-term on the Yucca property, or biting the bullet and outfitting it as a proper 5bd house (maybe $20k, with a potential reassessment and uncertain impact if/when I sell) to reclaim that market edge, or investing to make it an upper-mid-range/lower-high-range property with a few amenity upgrades and some marketing, or whether to just try to sell the property and get out from under it before I chase the sunk cost any longer.General advice, specific advice, kind words, pointers to professionals who can help, suggestions for how to weigh my options - it's all welcome.
