Hi Tanya. You remodled the entire house in 3 weeks? If so, can you elaborate on how you did that and how big the house was? Thanks

Rachel you should be able to find realtors for cheap. I've done this. Should be easy to get one to list for 1%. I agree. Some of those commissions are waaaaay to high. You just need to negotiate and find one that agrees

I use Melio to pay contractors. Only reason I've been doing it is to get 0% business credit card limit increases. I do have to pay 2.9% fees when I use it which makes it kinda not even worth doing in my opinion. The 2.9% fees add up quick

Awesome. Congrats. I'm in a similar situation....11 1/2 years in the game. Soon to be $16k a month cash flow after I finish an ADU build. $19k if I can manage to sell my 6 unit dud and pay my heloc down. Difference is I have way more debt. I love how you've minimized what you have and are super cash flow heavy. Good work!

Hey Henry. We bought a 140 unit fixer facility in Louisiana awhile ago and are having a tough time filling it up. We have a website, SEO is better now and we’ve climbed much higher in the google search but struggling to get clients. Any must have advice on marketing? Thanks in advance
Where at in Louisiana? There's one near me that was purchased and is operating remotely - it's gone to crap. Older facility. Poor lighting. About 50% occupied. Website is standard...the thing is, if they get your info they will literally harass you with phone calls from some place in India. And text you. It was unreal Hi
Hey Jeremy. In Monroe. We did remodel on this one with new lighting paint, auto gate etc. In decent shape now.

Thanks Henry. I’m searching bigger pockets for « will they come » and I’m not finding your post. I’m probably not searching correctly. Any advise on how to get there would be appreciated

Ya I’m Definetly not expecting a soft landing. I remember in 06’ and 07’ the same “professional economists” were saying the same thing as they are now. Everything’s gonna be ok…..Definetly not buying it. Neither should anybody else. Prepare now to be in a good position for the downturn that’s coming. Downturns are inevitable. They are part of the economic cycle. They’re just more pronounced now because we are printing soo much money and use debt tools with derivatives, etc in my opinion
