@Forrest WilliamsHave you tried the grip strip? 

It's critically important for the realtor to have a very good grip and understanding of what is to be expected on the rental property performance (both financially & maintenance/capex repairs wise) when you make that handoff to a property manager.What I mean is that there are instances where if the realtor is simply "pushing their product" as I like to say, and not really understanding how their clients rental property will perform, setting their client up with unrealistic and incorrect expectations - then you are setting yourself up for failure on the referral handoff.  

I am very quickly realizing that if I do not get a serious grip on this whole weekly/monthly bookkeeping thing, it could get out hand.

It sounds like you have a pretty good grip of your options and it really just depends on the opportunity cost is in terms of whether cashing out now would allow you to put another BRRRR in motion but on the other hand I'd imagine your lady would prefer your undivided attention over the next few months!

One of my grips is that Pace is  getting groupies all excited and is making a method that could be used Respectfully in the right situation look bad for promoting it heavily among noobs.  

For once, the stars aligned.The Day It HappenedI’ll never forget the energy that day.He shook my hand with a grip that was strong but trembling slightly.

If you can come to grips with the fact that you will have to WORK HARD to get what you want, read on...Locally, look for a 2-4 unit property that will qualify for FHA 203(k) financing.- This will allow low down payment and the 203(k) allows repairs to be financed into the purchase mortgage.- The 203(k) will allow you to bid on properties that need repairs that won't qualify for a traditional mortgage => less competition => better purchase price.You will need to find a great local contractor you can trust to supply the required bids to qualify for the 203(k).- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

Crypto and BTC has a firm grip on being a shiny thing, as well as a life-boat when others are going poorly. 

I’ve narrowed it down to two options: Option 1 (Leaning Toward This):Patch, paint, and add non-slip grip strips Sand and fill the damaged treads with wood filler or BondoPaint the treads and risers Add non-slip grip strips for traction and durabilityOption 2:Install vinyl stair tread caps or a Cap-A-Tread system More expensiveLooks nicer and matches our LVPTrickier to install, especially the curved top stepMight make more sense long-term once I move out and fully rent both sides Curious what other investors and DIYers would do in this situation, especially those with rental experience.

People have a hard time selling because they have not come to grips with the fact that high rates mean fewer people can afford that house and the house probably isn't as nice as you think.
