Which based on the gnashing of (mostly “frugal” REI) teeth, was the lowest in the industry (for most of you, especially with multiple, active accounts).I have my IRA, HSA, and CESA accounts (more on Solo’s shortly) with Quest.

Life it too short to teach people that won't follow through...or to spend money learning stuff that you won't apply.

What I'm wondering is: is there a way to get the cash invested into this rehab back out of the property in a relatively short timeline, as if it were a BRRRR?

Congratulations on your impressive success since 2021—that's quite an achievement to have closed over 100 transactions in such a short time.

Do you have tips for structuring short-term leases that protect me as a landlord while accommodating their needs?

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

But I’m getting ready to have them very shortly

In short, having all the conversations and commitments in strategy, setting up LLC and all the fun docs of who's doing what, and I'd suggest even getting initial funding into account for at least EM. 

Look into asset classes with stronger cash flow, such as small multifamily properties, short-term rentals, or mobile home parks.

Provide the scope of work done to the appraiser.All you can do is your best, so make it nice and pretty for that appraiser.Especially if you are looking to cash out refinance shortly here.
