Remember to account for potential surprises.

Quote from @Zach Howard: @Robby SanchezThanks for the offer - actually Texas is one of the places where I've started to look at potential properties and so on.

But since you will be able to finance with LTVs, potentially higher leverage may be used and can scale the portfolio faster with the right strategy. 

While the staff at RTR do try to work with you and accessible, it's important for potential investors not to be swayed solely by glowing reviews and comments.

@Guillermo PerezPositives:- Equity Built: You now have $70K in equity, which is a solid result for your first deal.Cash Flow Potential: If the property rents well and covers your debt service while providing some cash flow, that’s a win.- Experience: You’ve successfully navigated a purchase, rehab, and refinance, which are the core components of BRRRR.Considerations: - Budget Overrun: Being $27K over budget highlights the importance of tighter cost estimates and contingencies.

Oftentimes my initial consultation call with a potential client runs 1 hr and that still doesn't give me enough time to cover everything about the STR market on O'ahu.  1.  

This property had significant potential for value enhancement due to its location and condition.

It’s clear you had a sharp eye for opportunity with this duplex, especially given the prime location and potential for adding value through additional bedrooms.

They will tell you the potential.  

The deals are really so sparse that you can sit and wait and wait and wait for the right deal in a specific neighborhood or you can look at all potential deals across the Metroplex and beyond.
