I started out with value add, where we force appreciated properties by adding square footage and beds/baths.

I could see how purchasing before the rehab I could have added additional equity but then I would have had to manage the purchase and rehab from out of state.

I would be focusing on adding value into the homes you are looking at.

I just was giving a rule of thumb (framing was what I was bringing into the convo adding sf/adding bed/bath etc. without stating framing).

If you are set on your strategy of just adding 3 more rentals then you should probably leverage your network of lenders and discuss best options with them to free up some cash for more investments.

By nickel and dime-ing it I did not mean we were buying cheap or low quality properties, I meant we were adding properties as they became available in neighborhoods where we were already invested.

They took the other ad down when I did.2.

We discovered the previous owner had dementia which explained most of the work we needed to do, Our short-term is improving that unit to rental standard, not necessarily adding property value as he and I are still drawing floor plans for Long term.Thank you!!!

BP is not an inexpensive place to market yourself with the Ad fee structure so agents and those that dont have large budgets could never afford it.. so the ( as its now called ) reverse trolling is the way these folks are trying to drum up bizz ?

It's an agency, and I could invest in ads to drive more business.. in theory the return there would blow the return of rentals out of the park.
