Then I moved on to purchasing my own rentals which are all clean BRRRRs since there are still deals here that hit the 1% rule, positive cash flowing, with lots of appreciation.

Think of these as savings for big-ticket items like new flooring, new appliances, or a roof or siding replacement.Because maintenance and capex can be “lumpy,” you may think that you’re generating more cash flow than you really are.

I have never had to do a full gut on a home yet, mainly just flooring, paint, appliances, and interior work.

So for instance for our lead organization & management, I clean the lists up in google sheets and then download as a .CSV file and upload into Airtable (google sheets on steroids) where its easier and cleaner to manage.I use Airtable to manage our raw leads data - I have a trigger set up, that whenever we change the status to "qualified", that lead will go into our CRM (Salesmate.io) where we track our contacts and deals.

The property in question is a mixed-use, with a ground floor commercial unit, and one residential unit upstairs. 

I require a $1,000 security deposit, no exceptions and I let them know they will be paying all utilities, mowing the lawn, keeping up the landscaping and cleaning the gutter. 

We strategically improved the property with minimal investment, focusing on cleaning and minor updates to enhance its market appeal.

If I can get back to "paying back" the $130K faster with another asset, then I should pursue that other asset.I was thinking more cleanly within the lines of this specific property/investment.

One had been rented by the same couple for 7 years, one needed to be cleaned and some repairs, and the other had been in the middle of a remodel when the original owner died and his 4 daughters who couldn't agree on what day of the week it was decided to sell.Based on the square footage (2024) alone, I got a great deal. 85,500 with 10% down and 10% interest.

I don't think they'll make good wholesalers.I know 1 that works at Starbucks now, another started a house cleaning business.
