What do you dislike?

Because everyone has different objectives and targets, different likes and dislikes, are at different stages of their investing journey, have different financial situations etc. 

We all have likes and dislikes and thank god we don't all like the same thing.

Let me give you an example of why I strongly dislike (actually worse) these "rules of thumb".  

Ridiculous, I am starting to call them out every chance I run into them.But boy oh boy a nice magenta color dislike button would be fun!

Do an honest self assessment of what you like/dislike doing and what you are skilled/not skilled at.

I would do the LVL on the entry & cheap carpet elsewhere BUT go with the thicker more expensive padding & it will feel plush.We have found most dislike the orange colored floor look & have been using the muted grey tones similar to barn board etc. 

Buyers in my area dislike split level, and they are a very hard sell.I'd be very careful about buying one unless I was very confident that the local buyers are eager to buy them.There is a lot of choice on the market right now, and buyers are less likely to settle for something that isn't what they want.

Would you mind elaborating on what led you to dislike the BRRR strategy?

I REALLY dislike moving and it just wasn't a good time to sell.
