In retrospect that was too low of an opening bid.    

Learn how to say "No" to good opportunities so you can say "Yes" to great one'sTime and retrospect are a great thing mate 

There are probably many posts that contain similar information to this one, but I thought it would be of value to future and existing investors who are starting their journey.We recently completed rehabbing a duplex we bought for $93k and rehabbed for $75k (in retrospect, we could've negotiated a lower price 🤷‍♂️ - discussion for a different post), hitting an ARV of $190k when our target ARV was $170k.Two things that stood out for me that helped us secure a higher ARV that anyone can use in their next BRRRR were:1) Fix the property to be in the top 75th percentile -> To improve our success rate, we consulted with both our agent and our PMC on what kind of materials and finishes the best properties (highest ARV Comps and Rent Rates) had in the area.

In retrospect, some yellow flags found by the property manager during the tenant screening are now bright red flashing sirens, but the tenant showed decent credit, had a positive previous landlord reference, wrote a charming cover letter in his application, and applied through the referral of a reputable real estate agent.

In retrospect this $200 was never mentioned in the original pitch but I later discovered that even the idea of one time payment and forever help until you make the $1M profit and split with them is not true.

In retrospect, I should of increased rent to $1200 last year.When I bought the property, everyone’s renta were just below $1100.

Maybe a  weekly retrospective with most of theseOur Property Manager-> My Business Partner-> Our Realtor-> Myself

But in retrospect, should we have gone through with the deal and trusted our real estate attorney to execute according to the purchase contract?

In retrospect, I wish I had been a bit more patient and pursued a multi-family option to take advantage of house hacking.As a newcomer to this field, I’ve been following the BiggerPockets forums and podcast for quite some time now.

Thank you @Michael PlaksSorry for dragging you into this thread, but in retrospect, I'm glad I did!
