🎉🐶 This success story is all about a passionate veterinarian who, with a little help from their financial wizard, turned their vision into a reality that's paw-sitively perfect!

But the reality?

Unless you are sourcing properties yourself off-market, REI became much more challenging in 2023, and downright brutal since the start of 2024 here.   

I prefer markets that experience mild winters to eliminate the added costs brutal winters can bring. 

There is a harsh Reality when you start acquiring more units to your rental property portfolio.

It’s subtle but constant, and I can’t seem to tune it out.I’m exploring every possible way to mitigate the sound, but the reality is that I can’t change the home’s proximity or line of sight to the roads.

And the reality was I only put 20% down plus closing costs.

I certainly know that future years the expenses won't remain that low, but wouldn't that be a reality on a property that has a lot of recent improvements?  

However, realities shouldn't stop us from pushing innovation within our field.

The reality is that imposing expensive and time-consuming sprinkler installation requirements will drive property owners to either scale back necessary renovations or avoid permits altogether.Currently, when owners propose substantial renovations, they are often informed that their projects will require sprinkler systems, which can cost around $45,000 for a typical three-decker.
