I have been on the site for the past two days and already purchased two of Brandon Turner’s books as well as the Audible versions so I can just fully emerge myself into the world of real estate investing.

I don't advertise anything at all and never have in more than ten years on the site.

I am very happy with the performance of my portfolio - all my properties are between a 10-13% cap rate.

Luckily both sites collect the taxes for our place.Our little town did implement a 1% tax that I have to pay separately.

At the time there were limited 3 BR rentals in the neighborhood, but achieved such high rental rates the properties ended up performing better as rentals than as a for sale project.

I would like to start off by saying thank you all for providing such a wealth of knowledge on this site and via the podcast.

I will say, however, that reading threads on any web site will not take the place of experience.

Make sure you are using the estimated taxes shown at the Stark auditors site to check on them for next year as there are some significant increases coming!  

If you and your husband can perform the same line of work in another state like Florida, Texas, Nevada I would move out of CA as soon as possible. 

I will answer as it relates to traditional BRRRR, in the general case there are additional options.  1) Do not perform maximum cash extract.
