If you speak to a CPA who understands remotely what I mentioned then you're in good hands.

With a team, even if you’re paying salaries or commissions, you could close 25 deals a month.From there, increase your marketing, improve your SEO, and keep spending money to make (far more) than you spend.Keep scaling and tweaking until one day, you realize a steady stream of leads is coming in through your SEO efforts.At that point, you can turn off your paid marketing and enjoy the highest-quality leads for free—without lifting a finger.Let me know if you have any concerns or questions!

The 19134 zip code and other parts of North and West Philly offer properties at very affordable prices, but may have more challenges with tenant quality and vacancy rates.

I do believe that your HELOC will be a great source of capital to start your first deal but I wouldn't use it as a down payment (Speaking from my own personal experience).

On average I'm getting a lead for about every 350 texts I send, but results vary depending on the list quality and messaging templates.

Hey Nicholas, I know we texted the other day but happy to give some feedback here as well.Look at the general condition of the house itself like you would any other property.But in terms of tenant quality, take a look at how they're living.

Schedule a final inspection to ensure quality standards are met.Each of these sections would come with an estimated timeline, budget, and list of materials required, making it easy to track progress and expenses during the project.

@Jessica Swanson, I can't speak to Texas specifically.

@Daniel DeBruin, this is really all market dependent and how much you want to spend versus how much it will impact both the rent you can achieve as well as the quality of tenants it attracts.When it comes to design, it is all a bit personal opinion, but I will say: contiguous flooring always trumps mismatched, hodge podge flooring.  

I am trying to figure out whether the quality of renters and level of crime in the area would make it a good place for Class B quality buy and holds.
