Stick to Your TypeWarren Buffett once said, “The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”Apply this principle here:Decide on your property type.Say no to anything outside of that type.You can always pivot down the road, but starting with focus is crucial to building momentum.

It does sound to me that a lot of that work should have come out of the tenants security deposit 

You say that you are investing out of state.

I'm going to try that out on someone today.

(The Black Friday sale on the Bigger Pockets bookstore was where I did my own Christmas shopping so my family knew what to ‘buy’ for me!).

Hi Everyone,I’m investing in an essentially turnkey (it was a flip) MFH in Woonsocket, RI and wanted to get your take from anyone who has experience in the city.I know the city has a bit of a reputation, but it’s in the Fairmount neighborhood that tends to be quite good.

My husband also had a home purchased by a VA loan when we met, he eventually moved in with me and we rented his home out.

Keep in mind of the I/O(payments/period) and game plan on how fast you'd like to pay it down. 

@Rocco NicolettaMy wife and I have done 2-3 flips/year on Oahu since 2020 (yes, we started in what turned out to be the start of a pandemic....). 

Very grateful for bigger pockets!
