But recently, I’ve been curious to pick people’s minds and explore how others approach these aspects, especially as we grow our portfolio.You’re spot on about how technology can be a tool but shouldn’t replace the real human insights that come from having boots on the ground and networking.

Stainless steel appliances, cleaning service every other week and I am johnny on the spot with repairs.As a result my vacancies are not that bad even with a model designed to be somewhat transitory. 

Just keep in mind that using that emergency fund to buy your next property and having tapped a HELOC already may leave you in a bad spot if you run into a similar problem again.Also, I’m not 100% sure, but I have heard that personal loans don’t your credit more so than other types of debt so be sure you look into that if you go the personal loans route and then planned to finance your next purchase soon after.

CT spots like Bridgeport and New Haven also pop up a lot in conversations about good starter markets.

We bought it because it is in a great spot for long term appreciation and rent growth.Our new house in Santa Cruz County was a deal we couldn't pass up on.

While analytics tools like RankBreeze and IntelliHost are great, I’ve found that even small tests.. like rotating photos or adjusting captions.. can reveal surprising trends.Your approach to CTR optimization is spot-on, Garrett, and I’m excited to hear how these techniques work for you.

When I do it at 20% down, I can only find negative cashflow, so I could be looking in the wrong spot, or I need to put more down, or I am missing something all together.I have read that making a 8% return or higher is what to look for, and I can find break even.

. @ Dan Rowley, your advice is so simple but spot on.

Quote from @Frankie Monahan: About pace, made me mad was I invested with him in the Sperber event, where pace promised a spot on a NFT house in Texas, but he lied and has not answered me for almost a year  need to know more about this.
