Hey Shaylynn, Sounds like you have a solid strategy in place, and I love the ‘small but mighty’ approach inspired by Chad Carson!

Hey Michael,Local to you in Middletown here I would love to connect and chat more about this one.

I would love to meet and network to people in South Florida , and find a mentor or someone who has taken a similar investment route that I am doing from flipping to owning rental properties.Really just meet likeminded people. 

I’d love to connect with others who are house hacking or rehabbing in the area and share experiences.

I love a good creative financing transaction when done safely and ethically.

My interest rate and purchase price wouldn’t allow for positive cash flow unless I charged an unreasonable rent—or put about $500K toward the principal, which isn't ideal.I’m a high earner, so I’m weighing my options:Take the loss ($60K-$100K), buy another house, and chalk this up to a hard lesson learned.Refinance, put more money into it, and rent it out long-term—even if it’s not immediately profitable.Invest my money elsewhere and try to make peace with staying here for several years or just move.Would love to hear thoughts from anyone with experience in real estate, financial strategy, or noise mitigation.

The other disappointment as a prospective investor in PPR is that his book could not be more loving of leverage and the ability to maximize returns by using OPM.

If you want to get involved I would love to connect. 

Would love to hear the community's thoughts and meet some Clevelanders!  

I would love for you to try out, it free.And the best part is, I am the developer, you can directly ask me to incorporate any features that can be useful.Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sparrowlane/id6741719361
