I actually spoke with the seller's agent and he said the owner "tweaked" his zillow listing.Basically stated it was more sqft then it actually is.

After spending some time tweaking my search criteria on sites like Redfin, specifically looking for homes that have been on the market for a while, I have noticed that most of these homes are above the "starter home" price range.

I'm posting my strategy here for critical feedback and insights to tweak it, if necessary.My partner and I own a duplex in Ogden, UT and a home in SLC, UT.

The nice thing about the decisions you're making are that they are small tweaks as opposed to fundamental shifts.  

G'Day BP Fam,We have been buying between 5-10 properties per month in Toledo for 10+ years now.Lot's of those acquisitions come from direct mail through Yellow Letters Complete.It's a fairly automated platform where we purchase the list, choose the type of letter and they send the mailers.Our back end picks up the calls, schedules walkthrough's and negotiates, etc...I haven't been too happy lately with the lists and conversions.Thought it was us and tried tweaking our backend and reviewed our processes, etc... 

So if you want to solve the equation with positive cash flow you have to find a way to tweak the other variables.

And investing turnkey has additional risks.To explain further: 1) Directly owned properties are great because they give you maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how you want.

I plan to implement the BRRRR strategy with a few tax tweaks of my own that I have learned on the job. 

I can probably tweak the number if I change from a regressional model towards a model of expontential growth.

Once you make a couple of smart hires then tweak your systems and track progress to figure out where to spend money next.
