They're documented by the property manager in the same system used to track all operational work on your unit.The verification step that seals it:After you complete the work and check out with the property manager, they should physically inspect the unit to verify and document what was actually done.The ledger entry becomes:• 3/18: Owner - deep cleaning between guests - 4.5 hours - PM verified: bathrooms, kitchen, floors, linensThis adds independent confirmation.You didn't just claim you cleaned for 4.5 hours.

Many of the people selling Section 8 or low-barrier real estate programs are icky as well, but that damage is often contained to the student.There’s nothing wrong with the pace you're moving.

On the physical building:Understand what you’ll need to replace and when.

They are up against a physical reality that they don't want to accept mentally.

I like it @Jay Hinrichs and great comment @Stuart Udis - even though the market needs lower priced homes, if I follow my gut, I'd rather put my bet on a barrier market.

So much for water proof, the water got under the flooring and vapor barrier. 

Where to market theseThe rent-to-own websites are useless, you’re not wrong.The best traffic sources are still:Zillow (just label it “Rent-to-Own / Lease Option Opportunity”)Facebook Marketplace (strongest lead volume)Local FB buy/sell groupsCraigslist (still converts surprisingly well)Yard signs absolutely still worth doing for this nichePeople looking for lease options respond VERY well to physical signs because they often drive the neighborhood looking for opportunities.3.

That is what leads me to believe that we will see just a deflation of the bubble, not a pop, but that's not going to be great either.Frankly, my biggest concern is that once AI goes physical in the shape of humanoid robots, the manual labor market will collapse.

Investor #1 was a seasoned investor who spent two years waiting for the right opportunity to secure land in a high-barrier market.
