This was an off market deal that was completed without realtor involvement.

We would handle the guest communication, coordinating cleaning, minor repairs, stocking supplies, calendar management, etc.

I would add:Over-leverage: seeing people get owner finance and someone to toss them a total of 100% financing plus the costs of renovation sometimes crushes them even if they come in on budget and have the right ARV as they miscalculate the time it takes to sell as well as forget about all the other costs involved in a real estate transaction.

Not to mention, solar panels can also be a cause of roof leaks and require regular cleaning to maintain some level of efficiency which is not great to start with while also getting worse over time.

@Williams HerreraStarting investing in real estate involves education, networking, and setting financial goals.

While my insurance charges are relatively low each year given this is a condo, I learned to better assess who is behind budget planning at the HOA level for all of the units for roof, cleaning costs, basement improvements (shared by all units), given this was run well by one individual.

I got 4 SFHs this year in 3 states that meet or slightly exceed the 1% rule because I took on a problem the sellers did not want to deal with (clean up hoarder house, tenant eviction, etc).

@Kristee BadetHouse hacking involves living in a multi-unit property and renting out others, potentially offsetting mortgage costs and allowing savings for a personal home.

We (collectively, I speak for all of the mods here) would rather keep the active and engaged threads clean if given a choice.3.

We solve problems that happen to involve real estate.
