I started with a house hack then purchased my own rentals/BRRRRs and now I own a successful 7-figure rental portfolio.

Whether you’re a mortgage broker, real estate broker, or running a private lending shop, what software and processes have been game-changers for you?

Quote from @Armani Diaz: Hello, I just purchased a rental property duplex through wholesaler.

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $275,000About this homeBeautiful 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom condo in the convenient location of Rowland Heights, close to bus stop, supermarket, schools, shopping centers etc. newer counter top in kitchen and bathroom. 2 parking spaces and storage room.

I have never purchased anything 'perfect' but all of my rentals could have been rented as they were upon purchasing them. 

For the BRRRR process I plan on using a hard money lender for the rehab process for the SFH's but what I'm not sure of is, should I purchase a duplex and rent one unit out and live in the other or should I just rent for now, not purchase a duplex and just purchase a SFH with cash and start BRRRR'n immediately?

Implement documented repeatable processes to reduce errors and improve service levels.By being efficient, and cutting some of your costs you can hire better talent with the leftover cash. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
