When a property has rats and mice, it is almost always due to an opening allowing them to come in from the outside.  

The cash flow is what allows you to not pay more for your property every month. 

BP's rules won't allow roofers and contractors to reach out to you in this section of the forums.

Instead of tying up your capital in a high-cost primary residence, consider taking the would-be down payment and investing it in out-of-state properties.This strategy allows you to diversify your portfolio across multiple assets, spreading risk while potentially generating cash flow and building equity in appreciating markets.

For me, I'd rather have fewer doors owned outright that allow me to achieve my personal financial goals than having a large number of doors fully leveraged with less cash flow per door.

So purchasing larger and larger properties allows investors like Benjamin to purchase more depreciable basis while continuing to defer and recapture.  

And then, whatever the seller was planning to spend, I'd have them pay that amount to me as an cash allowance at closing.

I remember the new host discounts, however, I have accidentally removed discount and now Airbnb will not allow me to reapply it.

That said, I'm looking to BRRRR this upcoming year, but that's only because the first 3 properties allowed us to build up enough capital for this strategy to make sense. 

I am also a realtor with clients who are investing in MTR's in my market, as STRs aren't allowed.
