The second year we only spent $25,000, and achieved our original goals.  

A partial renovation turned into a full-scale project, doubling my $10,000 budget to $20,000.

(Cash Flow is my goal) Pros/cons, other creative ideas?

The goal is to minimize unnecessary usage and prevent extra costs, rather than blindly paying whatever bill comes in.

In addition to this, I've had 2 clients this past year tell me they used Airdna in '22 and '23 to see projected and estimated income and was drastically different than actual income made with very comparable properties. 

I'm new to real estate investing and looking to connect with local investor.Thank youWhat are specific goals? 

Purchase price: $170,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $280,000 It was my first project.

Have you decided on what your main focus and goals are?

I have several current and former clients that have done similar projects, mostly in neighborhoods where either 1) they grew up in the neighborhood, 2) they still go to church in the area, or 3) they have a relative that still lives in the area.

A long term approach is always the goal when looking at any buy and hold deal IMO.
