Quote from @Tiarra Delaney: Quote from @Wale Lawal: @Tiarra DelaneyYou're in a strong position to grow, and focusing on cash flow and equity will guide your decisions.

So far, it’s going really well, and I’m glad we made the shift.For me, the decision wasn’t about issues with self-managing but more about freeing up time and mental space to focus on the next steps in our investing journey.Curious to hear others’ experiences as well!

🙌 I love your focus on helping others achieve financial freedom through real estate – that's what it's all about!

If you’re below $275K, focus on high-impact upgrades like improving curb appeal (landscaping, fresh paint), refreshing the kitchen and bathrooms (new hardware, lighting), or adding energy-efficient features (smart thermostats, LED lighting).

I do engagement marketing in a trades focused field lending me to having very good relationships with tradespeople whom I consider friends- and I trust thoroughly.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

And lastly, by doing more of a new build focus you can always exit since you built below market in the area.

I currently own a two-family home with my girlfriend, but I plan to refinance in 2025 and start fresh with a focused expansion strategy.

•If you’re focused on protection, hold off on the LLC transfer or explore a land trust.
