I'd work on a strategy that returns my capital guaranteed. build to rent direct with ground up developer does this.

I would also discuss strategies with your lawyer for evicting/ejecting them if need be.

Quote from @Benjamin Blunt: What are the best strategies or tools that you use to find Off-Market Properties?

@Shiloh Lundahl I will do value add specifically with ADU development, so I am tracking permits to find other ADU developments and overall inventory growth to find a competitive edge with supplying demand in areas lacking larger residential developers aka "the middle housing"@Arlem Garcia Interesting, Tariffs will play a big role in supply chains, so it will be interesting to see how governments come to resolutions@Henry Clark Absolutely, imo gone are the days of investing for cashflow or appreciation, now it's about aligning long-term strategies with lifestyle 

I think the real estate professional strategy works if it is your primary source of income.   

However, co-living allows you to acquire properties with as little as 0%-5% down, drastically reducing the amount of cash required.Instead of needing $100K+ to buy a rental, a co-living strategy lets you start with a fraction of the cost while achieving higher returns.3.

Here's what I did:Kitchens: Painted cabinets, updated hardware, added efficient appliances.Bathrooms: Installed modern fixtures, used neutral paint.Exterior: Applied fresh paint, improved siding, enhanced landscaping.Results: Property value rose by 100%What budget-friendly strategies have you used?

My goal is to brrrr the deal within three months, and payoff the credit card with the cash out refi.I feel like this strategy could work out in your scenario as well.

Focus will be your superpower - figure out which strategy you like best and double down on that! 

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.
