- The beauty of real estate investing (or investing in general I guess) is that even though my primary growth phase is over, I couldn't stop the growth if I tried - the investments have taken on a momentum that will continue - I still buy additional rental property if I find something I like - and I don't even bother running the numbers to see what the return will be - Good conversation for the weekend - Thanks for starting it.Good Luck and Happy Investing,jeffHi Jeff,Thanks for your detailed comment and congratulations on your success.Well done mate and my hats off :)You have used leverage very well to get you to where you are today and the decision to sell a few properties and pay of debt is very wise.Everyone else looking at using leverage when starting out should look up to your comment and implement a similar strategy.Slow and steady wins the race.Safety first.Thanks again and much success 

Looking to implement a non-refundable $79 type fee for $3k coverage that all guests must pay when booking.

The #2 thing you can do is create and implement policies and procedures for tenants that get out of line.

.- 52% have implemented hiring freezes. - Four out of ten are rescinding job offers, and a similar amount are reducing or eliminating the sign-on bonuses that had become common to attract talent in the tight job market.

Banks typically offer better rates but can be more stringent in their underwriting.

Many syndicators target 13-18% IRR... say 15% without class A/B structure. but if you implement class A/B on that same deal, essentially, you take 5% (I don't think the math works like that, but conceptually you get it) from class A investors to class B investors + sponsors.

Largo and Indian Rocks Beach are the two most friendly, where as Clearwater is the most stringent.

@Roi FordThank you for the interesting perspective.I think we have something similar in Virginia,  albeit not as stringent.

Would love to learn more about the strategy and how to implement it in my area.

@Umair KhalidJust implement it the next time you update the lease, and state if there is a repair or issue that wasn’t recorded at the inspection and occurs in between your next inspection date and you weren’t notified it’ll cover you and possibly be determined as negligence.
