And my rental cash flow went from only $1500/month to 19k/month profit by taking on more loans and harvesting the equity in some of my properties including my primary.

Theming can be $5-10,000 per bedroom (includes whole house decor, so a 5 bedroom could be $50,000 for the entire home furniture) depending on your imagination and quality.

I don't disagree with a lot of your sentiments but the numbers don't work on duplexes in our market anymore like a traditional duplex where people want to house hack so in my opinion a triplex is the best. it also allows you to have highest asset value possible. in terms of our single family spec homes compared to our spec triplexes the triplex build to rent have the most interest.  

The house is priced as if it's a 2B, 1.5BATH but at some point someone has added a "bedroom" in the attic. 

I remember the story of the Zillow CEO when he sold his house in Seattle for about 40% less than the Zestimate. 

@Nathan Gesner I like in CA, I’m scared of snow… unless I’m on a snowboarding trip!

At that point in time the market was still hot for properties at my price point in my buy box.

I wish you were here with us in Toledo!

I wanted to know if y'all could have any advice for someone who would consider being a wholesaler in the state of Texas?

@Richard Schubert If the house next door is a solid enough deal you could always raise the money from people in your network to tie it up.
