Hey BP,I’m relatively new to the industry with about 1.5 years of experience, but I’ve already learned that automating common tasks is a huge game-changer for efficiency.

My initial reaction is that it costs $150,000 to add an extra door in a premium location, but I am interested to hear thoughts. 

My first reaction to your post is if you're purchasing assets that are throwing off positive cash but your DTI is going up then it may be time to re-evaluate the type of assets or the expenses associated with those assets.  2.

I'm a little curious about some of your assumptions: 1) Vacancy at 3% is very low (5%-8% is more common), 2) 5% income and 0% expense growth aren't realistic - more common is to have the difference between your income and expense growth around 1%-2%, 3) Paying P&I during rehab isn't common - normally this is setup as an interest only period until the property is stabilized and then do a DSCR loan, 4) A proforma cap rate of 9.21% is very high for this type of property (this more of a cap rate for a Section 8 property).

@Thomas Farrellmiscellaneous reactions-BRRRRs won't produce cash flow - they're an equity strategy, not a cash flow strategy-OOS BRRRR on your first deal will be incredibly difficult. 

Who will take care of common area issues like lawn maintenance, roof leaks, etc.?

I don't think the two unit COA is that bizarre, you either have common areas to maintain via the COA or you have to do cost sharing on all expense by each owner sending in half.

Hi everyone,I'm reaching out to both beginner and experienced real estate investors to gather insights about common mistakes you made when you first started investing.

As a result, maintaining those spaces becomes the landlord’s responsibility.Think about large apartment complexes—tenants don’t mow the grass, shovel the snow, or maintain the common areas.
