We currently live in Hot Springs Arkansas and my wife just accepted a position in Jacksonville Florida.

Gym, a few more emails, walk/run to beach, work, Hot tub, return emails, swim, repeat.

A hot housing market might allow you to refinance without extensive rehab before the tenant leaves.

And the market is super hot now.

LIke how to get rich in foreclosures right now would be pretty tough to do since they are non existent.. or in a uber hot market like now.. owner financing or the super duper lease option niche these all work in heavy distressed economy cycles but pretty tough today.  

The slow period Q4 2023 was slow but hot compared to years past. 

Likely the roof and the HVAC/furnace will be the biggest expenses that might occur but a hot water heater here, a clogged toilet there and suddenly the bills start adding up.

So you need to be out there finding the next house, finding money, arranging financing, networking, finding the next hot neighborhood, etc...

Obviously the hot water heater might have come as a surprise but then again it might not have been one.

I have a couple of prospect properties I would like to tour and get a better SOW for the Rehab, however because of the still someone hot market we are in realtors are not taking me serious as a potential client and tour the property without a preapproval letter, however the Hard Money Lender will not issue me a Preapproval letter until I get a better estimate of the SOW and come up with a plan on how I am going to do the project which I can't do without looking at the property first with a Realtor.
