The cashflow to support other investments

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Found it on Realtor.com. negotiated with our realtor to theirs.

Staining, updating all decor, added smart locks, LED light bulbs, repairs, new AC and deep cleaning.

Don't skimp on the little things as it will cost you more money to replace once you are up and running. Buy something of quality.
