Just make sure to account for any additional operating expenses when projecting your cash flow.

When analyzing your offer, make sure to factor in operating expenses, rehab costs, and vacancy rates.

I believe in learning and growing together as fellow entrepreneurs, so I'm glad to be on here helping others while I scale out my PML operation.

A lot of people are not good with money, plain and simple, and a lot of times those people are our children, siblings, or parents.

You mentioned that you're not interested in grants or fundraising, I'm curious what type of operating budget and actual program you have in mind.

You can continue to operate and if there is no fire and no decks collapse you are fine. 

Personally, I am a big fan of the "alternative" storage systems such as water pumps, sand etc. because the battery method is honestly not all that efficient on a cost to operate measure. 

Depends on what kind of property you are operating.

We did a 100% gut/rehab on a 1950's house in 2018 and converted it to a duplex, turned out beautiful, salvaged the original wood floors in parts of the house, put good LVP in the rest, simple plastic mini blinds on every window.

While I don't have any horror stories, per se, I have heard of people having a tenant for a year then causing $20k in damages upon move out, while skipping town to not be found again (this was a CA buyer buying from a turnkey operator in AL).
