With that strategy, I'm not a real estate agent BUT I am also reading a book called "BUY, REHAB,RENT, REFINANCE, REPEAT.

@Dennis Bragg, how did you factor improvements and market appreciation into the buy-back price?

Since Landlords are going to be monitored even more now with the price gouging issues surrounding the fires in LA, I would be extra cautious.

The seller pays extra compensation to the listing agent who then splits it with your agent (this is the way most transactions were done before 2024.

If you want to grow aggressively then having the extra cash available to you today is more important.

Anyways, on my latest project, the title came back yesterday and revealed two extra parcels of land deeded to the seller under the property I was under contract for.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

   #9  SWEETEN the POT:    Do not think that paying extra rent is going to entice owners to rent to you.

Like maybe I could pull enough out from heloc on primary residence to pay off debt and then rent out my primary and use the extra cash to payoff heloc and then do another heloc once the original one is paid off.
