@Kamryn DeVaultTo invest in a duplex, consider factors like neighborhood quality, economic stability, safety, property condition, cash flow potential, financing options, tenant screening, lease agreements, future potential, legal and zoning considerations, maintenance and management, networking, and starting small and scaling.

However I would start building a relationship with investor friendly Realtors in your area, find one you want to work with on deals in the future and go from there.

It’s also a great way to leverage your investment for future projects.If you’re planning to continue with more BRRR projects, consider refining your vendor selection process to increase efficiency and cost control, and ensure your financing is set up to maximize your next deals.If you need any advice on financing strategies for future deals or optimizing STR income, I’d be happy to help!

We plan to be in this area for foreseeable future. 

I’ve been reading books and dabbling in the stock market and things of that nature.

All these things are lessons learned, and I will have to take into effect in the future. 

There is no way that resident can afford a 500 jump, and I ended up losing thousands of dollars.Real estate is a business, collecting a future stream of revenue, and you need to be in control of the revenue and expensesGino

By the time you want to rest on your laurels, it would be good to have your loans not only paid off, but are also ahead of your future capex, meaning all major things already upgraded.

Every job your tenants have today will disappear in the foreseeable future.

For future reference, Evolve is not a "management company."
