Seems like as a psychologist you would know what is out of bounds.Your fragility keeps getting reinforced every time you post and you keep doubling down and tripling down.

It can be for earnest money or double closes.

Personally not a fan of out of state BRRRR.I think it's a recipe for disaster and having been in the game for 10+ years, I've seen the disaster first hand as I bought hundreds of deals from disgruntled out of state investors who thought they can do it themselves.My property management company has doubled in 12 months also due to out of state investors getting caught with a poor property manager when trying to do it themselves from afar so they come to us for help 🤷‍♂️I'm seeing many investors buying D class crap on the MLS for too much and that needs work.They end up being into the property for 30% more than they would be that if they just bought turnkey.A true turnkey provider will find the cheapest/best deals through a variety of acquisition methods, renovate well and sell for fair market value (And manage in-house).If things go South, they are solely to blame and the penny drops with them.But with DIY, who is to blame?

I got a quote for $17k to $19k for a full updated, fully occupied building.I thought this seemed double what I should be paying. 

A year ago my asset protection cost doubled over night.  

NW typically does a high pressure fast escrow tactics... even have you bid against other investors... often double escrows... and sometimes even delayed possession. 

It's double taxation. 

Boxabl acknowledges SEC inquiry in updated filing | Business Insider India its a double whammy start up and trying to sell in a very tough interest rate environment. along with inflation and cost of components to the point their 50k to 60k box probably cost them quite a bit more to produce than what they were going to sell it for. 

But IMO, if you have to jump up double digits without a material change to the unit, you've screwed it up in the years prior.Staying on top of fair market rents is not easy for small landlords.

Double check that before purchasing a property. 3) FHA 203k loans would obviously be ideal in a vacuum to factor in renovation costs into loan to decrease your out of pocket expenses.
