Quote from @Jamie Bateman: @Chris Seveney well, I don't want to increase the demand for the next trade, but with the HECM NPLs you get interior photos prior to bidding.

.: @Travis Boyd you’ll lose more in interest rate increases, potential property taxes increases, realtor commission and other transaction costs than you’ll pay on any future cap gain taxes.

If you advertise at $1800 and get no action for two weeks, then consider dropping the price.Always lower your price, not your standards.

I want to build a home on the property to increase value at some point.

The hot tub was just for the luxury of having it, but we justified the purchase by increases the AirBnb nightly rent.

This gets your yellow letters down to .309 per piece, standard mail.

There were some items that just didn't fit the standard I want in my MTRs (like my giant bean bag lol)

Purchase price: $430,000 Cash invested: $85,000I bought the property partially renovated on the interior, then proceeded to do updates to increase value.

The best way to get started or increase that flow is to go to real estate investor meetups (@Leka Devatha has an amazing one in Seattle) and also answer questions in the local forums without ever asking or offering help in terms of your business.
