Doing deal analysis before diving into your first investment is smart, it helps build your confidence and lets you understand what makes a deal profitable.

If rates keep going up, and we then have 2-3 years of no hurricanes, the insurance carriers will be very profitable, and will start to chase business, lowering premiums. 

I should have asked what didn't go according to plan and how they handled it, and what the ultimate outcome was since the brief summary of that deal just says they sold at a profit.4.

Multi family, storage unit facilities, profitable commercial properties, I’m open to exploring.

I am trying to figure out the numbers to see if it is profitable.

They may be cutting into your profits, by needing to pay them off the rent roll, but they will be saving you so much time and headache in dealing with the day-to-day issues with tenants as well as finding and vetting new tenants for you.

I'm new to BP and trying to build a team as I dive into more frequent and long-term profitable REI.I've been doing SFH rentals over the last 15-18 years, but it's all been very traditionally financed (ho hum, 30 yr fixed) and as such has limited my ability to invest more frequently, and grow a portfolio.I'm here to learn how to use more creative financing strategies (private money lending, Sub-to, seller financing) to acquire 2-3 units (duplexes, tri) and 5+ multifamily properties. 

It seems like it might be a bit tight on profit. 

Congrats on a great profit @Janelle K.

Not sure about the staging fee, but my STR property manager in Denver takes 18% of profits (does not including cleaning fees as part of the profits)
