I would also increase your underwriting rehab estimate number by 15-20% since most renovations go over budget.

I think your income easily justifies a common-sense, time-proven method: increase earnings, reduce expenses, save, and invest.

My first investment was not a great one, but rents increased from $1200 to $1900/month in a few years.

We have a direct engagement with the manufacturer of Helix Mattresses and we have been using this as a perk to our clients who are either coming onboard with new properties or for clients in need of upgrade or replacement. 

I listed a rental property on Zillow and paid for premium exposure to increase visibility.

There are other communities that would have better opportunities to cash flow.Although there is no guarantee of future income on any STR, I believe that 2025/2026 we will see a good increase in travel, mainly due to EPIC opening and the overall attitude of 'the people' coming off of the election.

Especially as maintenance bombs increase in there detonations, the opportunities to acquire from failed operators is at the door step.  

Residential: Turned 3 units with tenants moving out at lease expiration and increasing rent to market ($2,850/month).

Infrastructure is a big bill right now for many communities and is driving a huge increase in property taxes.

Do you feel, given the current state of the market, the risk is increasing in this type of investing?
