Happy to chat...being a local GC takes out a lot of the risk of the biggest variable for most investors (unpredictable rehab costs) and also allows you to consider more options than the average investor, with your rehab costs being significantly lower.

Give your state's 'cure' term ("In New Jersey, a tenant has three business days to pay rent and court costs after a judgment of possession is issued to avoid eviction.

Unless it is a new build, and it comes with purchase warranties are an extra cost and may or may not even be executed when needed depending on the circumstances. 

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

Covering the mortgage isn’t an issue, but I’m considering factors like: Multi-Family: House hacking would help offset costs right away, but I’d likely need to put money into renovations upfront.Single-Family: Easier move-in with no immediate renovations needed, plus potentially lower tenant turnover once I rent it out For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you choose and why?

Connecting with experienced investors or joining local real estate groups can provide valuable insights and help you avoid costly mistakes.

Without this workout, the down payment requirements, current levels of interest rates and cost of the transaction would not be incentivizing enough to for investment. 

Bonus points if they’re used to working with investors or can help keep costs in check while maintaining quality.Cheers,Kevin I would say this about BRRRRR, especially as a newer investor. 

Renovations can cost more than you expect, add 10% to your overall number.
