I recently quit my job to dedicate full time to RE investing.Given the macro instability Latin American economies faced for decades, people with savings are constantly looking out for opportunities to invest in the US, specially in RE.So, a few months ago I partenered with a RE developer from my country and we are now focused on getting multifamily deals in Florida.Looking forward to connecting with all of you and adding value where I can!

Currently I use one credit card and dedicate it ONLY for the real estate business.

Please let me know if one or a couple of realtors would be up to chatting with me and dedicating some time to be our investment tour guides in Cleveland. 

It is a dedicated STR policy.We have a lake front home in North Idaho on Lake Coeur d'AleneLoss of income is up to 50k for unplanned downtime.

But, prior to getting started we opened a bank account dedicated solely to rentals.

We’re evaluating a property that is a legal 2-unit with an in-law suite and would appreciate feedback from those who’ve dealt with similar setups.Current conditions:Legal 2 units + finished in-law suiteOnly 2 gas meters currentlyIn-law ceiling height is approx. 6’2”In-law already has a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroomNo dedicated heating or cooling for the in-law unit at the momentWhat we’re considering:Installing central air / HVAC for all 3 unitsPotentially adding a 3rd gas meterLooking for insight on:Code and permitting considerations (especially around ceiling height)Pros/cons of tying the in-law into shared HVAC vs separate systemsWhether adding a 3rd gas meter is typically worth it (cost vs rentability/value)Red flags you’ve run into with in-law units from a resale, appraisal, or inspection standpointWould love to hear from anyone who’s rehabbed, owned, or sold properties with in-law units — especially in older buildings.Thanks in advance.

When that happens most operators bring in a dedicated investor portal like Juniper Square or InvestNext to handle statements and distributions, and those connect to QuickBooks so you are not doing double entry.

It speaks to what hustle and dedication can get you over the long haul!!!

Use a dedicated bank account for repairs connected to a dedicated credit card, don't comingle funds, that solves most of the record-keeping issues.

As doors increase, most owners shift to a single intake method for maintenance, even if everything else still feels informal.What people often move toward:Tenants send maintenance through a portal or dedicated email, not personal textsEach request creates a trackable work order with photos, timestamps, and notesVendor updates and invoices stay tied to that same threadThis setup solves the common breakdowns: missed messages, no paper trail, and forgotten follow-ups.Many small landlords make the switch around 5–10 units — not just from volume, but because memory stops being a reliable system and disputes get more costly.
