Dressers with a nice clean look that have deep drawers and smooth rollers are well over $1K and often close to $2K.

what are some other major red flag questions you might ask?

I’ve developed a Comprehensive Investor Report (CIR) for a property in Palm Coast, FL, designed to be transformed into a luxury rental asset while serving as the foundation for a scalable asset management strategy.Here’s a quick snapshot of the deal:Property: Red Birch Lane, Palm Coast, FLCurrent Value: $350,000+Mortgage Balance: $165,000Current Equity: $185,000Investment Required: $177,500 (for luxury upgrades and optimization)Projected Monthly Rent: $4,500 with 2% annual increasesTarget ROI: Full 1.5x ROI for investors achieved in 9 yearsLuxury Features: Smart home automation, designer finishes, professional-grade kitchen appliances, and more.I’ve also structured a capital distribution plan with a waterfall approach:8% Preferred Return for investors.Full Return of Capital to investors before profit splits.Post-ROI, a 20/80 split (Investor/Management) ensures long-term alignment.

They’re like mini-dictatorships; even after you pay them off, HOA fees keep piling up, and it starts feeling like a timeshare.Miami, while beautiful, isn’t known for cash flow unless you have deep pockets to buy beachfront properties and can afford to take losses while waiting for long-term appreciation.

I plan to use the 10k Club to make money by being a bird dog for times when I don’t want to go deep into the process to make a profit.

Quote from @Jay Redding: @Wade Wisner -  Most of the notes that we purchase we keep in our portfolio and borrow against them with private capital.

That's aside from a renter placement fee (from a property manager or real estate broker), so with that into account, it could be about $3000 into the red on year one of a rental lease.

Having developed a majority of my career in CA the regulations and red tape for construction and development are intense. 

The voters in Red States would never allow a national rent control.

I’m surprised that in itself isn’t viewed as a red flag.
