Because I'm here, active in the market and I do NOT want every fool rushing in and ruining it for me and my clients.    

I’m looking to connect with those of you who are actively using or interested in the BRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy to scale your rental portfolios.Whether you’re new to BRRR or a seasoned investor, I’m here to discuss best practices, potential local opportunities, and ways we can collaborate to make your investments efficient and profitable.

She said to get some activity going in my account and we can revisit in a month to reapply.

Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, I’d love to network, share insights, and collaborate.If you’re active in Philly or the surrounding counties, let’s connect!

Two thoughts - 1) We have seen the Blue areas become much more regulatory, as we would expect from that mindset...but yes, I gotta agree, I think it does cross the line in this case. 2) Not all neighborhoods resent STRs. 2 of my STRs were in neighborhoods where they were actively welcomed.

I even try to unsell them on the business by sharing my financial losses, litigation,  market shifts, permit purgatory, shady contractors,  clouded title issues,  paranormal activity, squatters, mold, etc.

Proper research, budgeting, and a well-thought-out strategy are key to minimizing risks and maximizing returns.In the end, BRRRR is an active investment strategy that, when executed correctly, can lead to long-term wealth creation, a steady stream of rental income, and a scalable real estate portfolio.
