Lesson from Radiant Young Adults night in Tampa – "Staying Power"Last Thursday's session reminded me:- Stay consistent- Play the long game- Consistency always beats periodic bursts of intensity- Consistency might feel “boring,” but that’s where growth happensStay the course!

Hi all,I’m excited to finally engage more with the BiggerPockets community!

@Tasha SmithI would never engage the residents by asking them what fair rent is.

It's accelerated a lot from there but real estate is and always will be a long-game. 

Horrible idea for many reasons...1) Without a decent down payment ~20%, it's very unlikely you'll cashflow after all expenses 2) Sounds like this would be a highly leveraged property - high leverage when rates are high is a dangerous game to play.

Be a sponge and engage where you see fit. 

If you are going to do a game room and want it to move the needle then you need to really do it.  

In one case I game them a percentage based rent for a year as well (covid), then reverted back to the fixed lease afterwards. 

Whether it’s exploring new investment strategies or diving deeper into commercial appraisals, I’m excited to engage in meaningful discussions.In my spare time, I enjoy renovating properties and spending time with my family.Looking forward to being part of this amazing community and growing alongside everyone here!

Do you frequently require subcontract and vendor engagement (lawn care, snow removal, building maintenance, management company etc.) and if so, do you sign contracts and require that you are listed  as additional insured on their insurance policies?
