Raising rent should be based on market rates in your market, there is no need to be consistent unless you want to be. 

Building Credit with Vendor AccountsStarting with Net-30 Accounts (vendors that give you 30 days to pay invoices) is a smart strategy.

That is the best case scenario, of course sometimes you get lied to and stalled, that's why it is important to always emply a double strategy and stay a step ahead.

Many investors get their license for access to MLS and/or to save money on real estate commissions when they buy & sell.It's a good strategy, but only if you are doing VOLUME!

It’s a mix of strategy, management, and a little bit of chaos, especially when dealing with unruly tenants or trying to balance your budget while upgrading properties.

It’s not about chaining yourself to a rigid model; it’s about giving yourself a reliable starting point, so when the next tempting deal in Phoenix’s midtown corridor pops up, you know it fits into your broader strategy rather than just hoping it’ll magically work out.At the end of the day, nobody’s going to knock on your door and hand you a neatly packaged portfolio.

.- My Strategy: I'd like to buy and hold residential rental properties.

I’ve seen many investors miss oppportunities when combining primary residence use with investment strategies, but you seem to have timed this perfectly.

To streamline the process, I want to ensure applicants qualify before scheduling a viewing.It would be beneficial to implement an AI-based system to consistently and efficiently ask prospective tenants the pre-screening questions I currently ask repeatedly.

I also reccomend lining up a contractro early, realy early, from what I’ve heard, so you can keep everything on schedule and budget.So now that you’ve tackled what most investors would call a major job, do you see yourself repeating a similar strategy.. or do you feel like branching out into something else?
