Hey @Katherine Lewis, I have always felt this was a tougher row to hoe overall.It's not that it couldn't work, but the juice might not be worth the squeeze.If you go all in you have to do it for the long haul.

Overall the juice was worth the squeeze with Appfolio.

I knew these units needed a renovation and I am excited to get them rehabbed and get more juice to squeeze from them.The one I am currently doing will profit me another 200-225/m moreThe one that is vacant the 31st of this month will profit 400-450/m more which is no small amount. 

As Elias mentioned above i think you're insurance costs will continue to rise and while the property may appreciate as well i don't think juice is worth the squeeze.

OOS BRRRs are the devil's juice on this forum, but if you set yourself up properly with contracts, etc., you will come out on top just take a bit longer so you need to underwrite that in mind.If the former, I would do a combination of fixed income, private lending, and note buying and trade the arb.

Oregon and WA made foreclosure rescue lease backs totally illegal.We did not have a problem on the lease back we did have to evict many within the first year but it was a normal eviction and we had enough juice in the deal to make it work. 

@Kyle Carter just because a building has all section 8 tenants doesn’t necessarily mean that the cap rate will be higher on exit but it might attract a buyer(s) that are focused cashflow and not appreciation; therefore a lower price to juice the yield.One of my non negotiables if I were you would be to only buy in an area that is desirable.  

So seems to me pretty cheap way to get to meet people that are doing the deals and learn at the same time.Bp is nice and fine.. but its just the internet.. you can only learn so much here. at the end of the day real estate is belly to belly you got to go work and meet with who your going to entrust your investment funds with.. or if your going to try a new line of work..

By poor cleaning, I mean not just small things (like flour handprints on the cabinets which are quite visible, sticky residue inside the fridge that granted, was clear so something like white grape juice?)

The dealflow from brokers is always there, but the juice vs squeeze conundrum is in full force because if you dont manage this closely, you will start soaking up tons of bandwidth and payroll with underwriting several deals for only 1 in 5-10 to actually close.
