Hey all, Feds cut rates by a quarter point today.  

I've dedicated a considerable amount of time to reading books, tuning into podcasts, and educating myself about the real estate market.

You could make the same amount of money (or more) without the time, stress, or energy required as a DIY Landlord.If you do decide to manage yourself, you need a quick education.

Curious to learn what other landlords and STR listing owners are doing to automate day to day processes?

Also anonymity today is a joke, I can find out within 3 minutes and a simple $1 skiptrace who owns a property and where they live.

Regarding BRRRR, this is a tough strategy today due to interest rates, if you did a modified BRRRR and bought a property and renovated it and house hacked it that could do very well for you. 

Or, is REPS really a “free lunch” for those who qualify - they can claim an active loss reducing ordinary income today, AND get to claim passive and capital gains in the future on the appreciation?

As of right now with today’s numbers and rates, and if I’m right around what Airdna and all the other sites estimate, I’ll be just about breaking even. 

From an appreciation standpoint, it's hard to say that a home built in the 1970s will likely appreciate less than one built today. 

So as to not rehash everything here again this week I'm going to lock this post as well because I do feel that the information that needs to be available to the public to make informed decisions is out there, and I don't want this to turn into trolling with no educational value to the community.
