You can switch to a lawn service and the major issue will be they have to move their stuff when the lawn guy comes.  

Home prices have been going up for 10 years, so quality stuff is not cheap.

I'm still finding some solid BRRRR opportunities in the Cleveland market, but Vadim is right that you need to find a property that is priced under value without extension repairs needed, hopefully only cosmetic stuff, but they're still out there!

At the end, subtract the mortgage payment and cap ex reserve (depends on age of the property, but 2.5-10% of gross rent received) and arrive at cash flow.

I would be interested in the outdoorsy stuff that there is to do in the area in the summer.  

Throw an LLC together with a few people with $1m each, and buy it, San Francisco isn't short of folks who got lucky with this or that IPO and have the money, most of those tech companies have an unofficial employee-maintained slack/discord channel where they talk about real estate stuff.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

I was also thinking of telling them instead to reduce the price 10k and ill wait til all the court stuff is done and the HOA takes full ownershipTHOUHGTS?  

Its nice to have the little stuff taken care of, but I'd get bids on larger repairs rather than automatically going with their guys.

So obviously it can happen but every time I ask how I get people responding with the same type of cash advance type suggestions or "bad idea" and stuff like you received in this thread lol.
