When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

The equity doesn’t mean anything.

This single-family residence spans approximately 4,250 square feet and features 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.

Starting with an owner-occupied duplex is a smart way to build equity and gain experience.

I had 2 or 3 called.Now again keep in mind I had zero interest in holding these as rentals and I ONLY bought homes that had significant equity for me.. mainly all pre foreclosures..

Quote from @Guillermo Perez: Can someone please let me know if this is ok for my first BRRRR.I got a $200k HELOC on my primary residence to help fund my first BRRRR.

Do you prioritize equity growth or cash flow in your investments?

Is it better to keep adding equity by doing work on the houses while I'm renting them then refinance to recover the initial down-payment to reinvest into another property or to pay down the heloc?

They simply skip over/ignore concepts like vulnerable persons, equity skimming, equity stripping, bank fraud, wire fraud, mortgage fraud, escrow and closing, etc  It's now the "thing" to do.What could go wrong?
