This makes me wonder if paying the $29.99 fee might be causing some kind of issue with Zillow’s system.Will update if Zillow can response me.

It’s a complex situation that requires careful consideration.  

I'm starting to wonder if Dealmachine is just really great at promotion of the product.

I own a SFH in Santa Barbara County (it's in an unincorporated area between SB and Goleta.)Ive had wonderful tenants since buying the property in late 2017 and have raised the rent just twice (still WELL under market value rent).

That is a valid question, which is why you have to be careful with what you select as you would with any other investment.

He bought the property pre COVID, so his cash flow is definitely going to be different than what mine will be.The question I'm wondering if its a good idea and if the numbers make sense.Purchase Price: $100,000Down payment: $20,000 (20%)Current cashflow: $900Property manager: $90 (10%)His expense for 12 months was only $1,430 (inspections, repairs, management, eviction services). 

Does that include covering your (future) retirement needs, health care costs, all other corporate benefits?

If you’re really set on building a portfolio, this might be a good way to go since it’ll give you the liquidity to take on more properties.BRRRR: If you’re leaning towards long-term rental income and portfolio growth, the BRRRR method could be an attractive option, but you’re right to consider the numbers carefully.

Build a solid team and evaluate deals carefully using tools like BiggerPockets calculators to ensure strong cash flow and returns.Good luck!

If you’re looking for a reason NOT to take a particular action, you will always finds it Although I started investing in foreclosures in ‘78, I didn’t buy my first Note (a 2nd DOT) until 1989.What a wonderful, wild ride that was!
