Hello BP!  I currently own a duplex and have a question regarding using RUBS for gas usage.  This formula is already in place for water, but here's the issue with gas -- both units use gas heat, however only one unit ...

Started to look at available systems.

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

Would be cool if I could split the  VA loan and buy two houses in the same year.Resources, experience, systems and networking.

Nobody can just guess correctly THREE times - when I’m correct again you’ll know I have a system that has been tested and works.  

Nowadays, the internet has made it easier to network, reach a larger audience, underwrite deals, research a market, and have access to education. 

I decided that if I am to do this and put up with it I would get more involved with system to get a better understanding of their mind set.

I know the basics of wholesaling but I value the companies lead system more then anything.

A single person can reach out to 100-200 owners a day with a single line dialer, many more with a multiline like Mojo Dialer.3) Once you have a system in place, you can hire a VA to help you cold call and just hand off the responsive leads to you (they won't really hand off appointments). 

Do you rely on local property managers, or do you have your own systems in place for things like maintenance, tenant communication, and rent collection?
