was looking to add brand new SFH to my portfolio.

Additionally, I mentioned that I had sent them a small holiday gift card as a token of appreciation (which I send to all of my tenants) and wished their family a peaceful and warm holiday season.Your insights helped me craft a response that balanced kindness with maintaining boundaries, and I truly appreciate it.

Also Minoan has so many companies to choose from which makes it confusing if you don't know the suppliers well.

A little over 15 years ago, in the late spring of 2009, I was a brand spanking new real estate agent coming off of a miserably failed real estate investment venture.

If they are wrong, well, you can buy that deal from them (or their lender after they foreclose) a year or two or three from now for less than they paid...By the way, there is nothing wrong with buying a single family home or duplex--my first deal was a mobile home. 

The new tenants didn't know how to lite the brand-new stove.

I'm originally from BR and am fairly active there. we see a lot of inventory so also happy to chat offline about this

Brand new to real estate investing - I currently have 1 3/2 ranch in good market  (Greensboro/WS/ Highpoint) used for furnished medium term rentals. 

I'm not how you are defining a BRRR that works, but if I have a unit with brand new roof, mechanicals, kitchens, bathrooms, etc... and leave 10,15 or 20% in the deal I still feel like I'm winning.  

Keep posting for sure but feel free to reach out directly as well.
