Hey BP,I'll be quick since I don't want to waste anyone's time.

Im reading a lot right now and this helps me a lot. 2 things I can't understand from properties I've looked until now ( which all requires a lot of work), 1- owners who wants to sell their property and tells me also the rehab price, which makes no sense for me,( even the rehab price for me, with a quick estimation is 30-40% less expensive then told to me. ), 2-  Realtors that don't knows the ARV or rent price after rehab.Thank you again best, Ilir

Hey Jacklyn, I am going to shoot you a message real quick about connecting to talk some more about this

If they are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily.

But if those payments feel like dead weight, Dave Ramsey’s “debt-free” mindset could be worth revisiting.Here’s a quick story to illustrate.

The real issue is that they didn’t have a plan to monitor usage or set up protections to minimize costs during the eviction process.Ideally, the PM could’ve done things like:Limit access to unnecessary areas to reduce power use.Install smart thermostats to keep heat at a safe minimum.Request a utility cap in court during eviction proceedings (if allowed in your area).Bottom line: It’s less about the utility switch itself and more about proactively managing costs once the tenant overstayed.bro what? 

That home would be a great candidate for a hard money loan that would allow you to quickly complete the renovations and exit. 

It’s especially useful for prospecting foreclosures or expired listings.TruePeopleSearch (Free): If you’re working on a budget, this is a surprisingly helpful resource for quick lookups.That said, any platform can work if you use it consistently—it’s all about staying persistent.

The quick short answer in my opinion is this: If you want growth stick to the small multis that you know and once the mortgages are paid off retire fully.

If you’re set on a duplex with minimal rehab, an investor focused agent should have a strong network of contractors who can give you quick quotes, so you don’t wind up with any pricey surprises.
