I have spent the last year doing some reading and learning while I save money.

If your budget is so tight that you can't handle a small leak, what will happen when a tenant fails to pay the last month of rent and abandons the property with $6,000 in cleaning and repairs?

My wife and I house-hacked our first place in ALX renting out the basement on Airbnb as a monthly rental.We're now on our second property doing the same thing.It's short notice, but if you wanna attend today's NOVA REI meetup, it's the last one of 2024 and we're meeting at Tyson's mall on the 3rd floor.

note none of my local STRs have this good a revenue ratio; if they did I would have good cash flow on them which my cash flow on the STRs the last few years has been modest.I am still shocked my underwriting shows the COC to be this bad, but I have decent confidence in the underwriting.  

I've taken a couple real estate courses but Big Pockets is the best and I have been binge watching for the last 2 weeks and im super excited to start investing im looking to do the Brrrr strategy and looking to pick up small multi family properties and possibly off market flips. 

I am the opposite I have never bought new tires for a car in the last 20 plus years except for my Porsche which chews them up. and my model X Tesla which weighs a ton.. when i need new tires I get a new car :)  PS when the clutch went out on the Porsche at 25k miles and out of warranty it was 5k to fix it..

I was at a live tax deed auction once and the last property up for bid was a dilapidated 70s era mobile home on a leased space in MH park. 

In most areas, and ours, it is a common opinion as rents have skyrocketed the last few years so it's an easy talking point.

So even if they last 30 years and could have produced double their cost.

He collected first/last/security payments prior to move in date and was never heard from again.
