And in real estate, there are plenty of those "barely a success" type deals.

I just bought a triplex in January with a partner and my score then was 670 I barely made it.What other forms of buying single family properties in kansas Topeka and doing the BRRRR strategy can I do to build capital and build a portfolio.

@Paul Kim - I've held properties in CA before that I moved out of, and barely was break even for a couple of years, but I was in the strong belief that the market would keep going up.

We have a vaccine which is barely 50% effective.

I have only once considered this, and it was through my job, the person assessing the work could barely stand the smell inside the home from human, dog, and cat waste. 

They usually counter in increments each time, so we just barely went up each time until we got the system to come down to the price we wanted.

Both times the tenant complained, were when a notice of renewal was sent with a tiny increase in rent (barely 2% each time).

That’s the bare minimum.

If you can barely pay $900 in rent currently than it may not be the best investment as your other expenses will probably be out of pocket past the rental income.

Facebook was barely started, there was no Uber, there was no AirBnB, etc.
