Run your numbers as if it were a long-term rental too — that gives you a safety cushion.And don’t underestimate the value of a good cleaner and handyman — they’ll make your life much easier.Happy to connect and share insights as you move forward!

I also received a letter from the county saying that my property is in violation of several health and safety codes. 

It became very unsustainable, and I wasn't getting the same ROI with cold calling.A lot of the information you hear on social media is either dated or too ambiguous.

It feels like anyone who has watched HGTV or has a social media account is now an “investor.”

A properly installed radon mitigation system with post‑test results under typical safety thresholds doesn’t devalue a property; if anything, it reduces a future buyer’s objection by turning a health risk into a solved, documented feature.

The duplex unit is only a small 2/1 and I doubt that the shower would big enough to be wheel chair accessible, but for sure it will need safety grab bars.  

Be active on social media.

It seems to me to be a flawed safety net for new people. 

Another point, I have a W-2 income (spouse is stay at home mom) where I am already above the social security tax income limit.

None of this shows up on a city checklist.Set it and forget it calendar rule: Once a year, I load ALL recurring compliance dates (local rental registration renewal, Fire safety notices, Lead / window guard, annual inspection deadlines).
