I retired in 2008 with 21 years in the Air Force.13 sales in your first year is pretty impressive, particularly for someone on active duty.

I was overwhelmed with projects at the time but paid $35,000 and sold two years later without any improvements for $125,000. 

Very simply, large corporations pay into the tax base of that local community and that revenue is used to improve the community and make it a more attractive place for people to live.

We have used actuals and projections from air dna to come up with rent.

The biggest issue with Stessa is that it sounded like they had very low transfer maximums(making it difficult to pay people) but it looks like they've improved a little bit on that.

Platforms like Avail can help if you prefer to self-manage but still require time for repairs.Tax-wise, repair costs may be deductible immediately, while major improvements must be depreciated over 27.5 years.

I’m committed to keeping my options open and continuing to learn about being a landlord to ensure I’m well-prepared for my first purchase.To improve my ability to analyze deals, I’ve developed a two-part plan:Join a local BP meet-up group to discuss my goals and support others.Continue learning and engaging with the BP forum.Thank you again for your guidance—it’s truly appreciated!

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

The cold air often runs out in the summer and the heat doesn't turn on in the winter.

Your equity can provide the funds to make those improvements happen, increasing your home’s value and making it more enjoyable to live in too.Getting a Business GoingIf you’ve been dreaming about starting your own business, your equity could be the kickstart you need.
