Real investing questions
Hi I am new to real estate investing have a few questions to ask like how long do you stay in your rental property to fix it? What are the main areas of focus on the home
Most Popular Reply

Assuming you're alluding to living in a property while you fix it to eventually rent it out?
1) Length of stay: depends on how much work you have to do, but the shorter the better.
2) Focus: Kitchen & baths are the main areas. All other rooms are just a big box. You do want to upgrade windows if old and go with hard-surface flooring.
By the way, what you're planning to do is referred to as BRRR: Buy, Renovate, Refinance (to pull your money back out) and Rent.
