In a previous life, I developed midstream energy assets. 

I can understand the temptation of wanting more rent from your multifamily home however I would add this to your train of thought:What would happen if your tenant in your illegal basement unit burned down the house which caused another tenant to get hurt or even die?

I’m trying to get a better understanding of the unlevered IRR hurdles SFR / BTR investors have for value-add improvements.By "value-add improvements" I’m referring to upgrades made to a property that increase rent or purchase value, often including kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, solar and other energy efficiency improvements, fresh paint, a new garage door, finishing a basement, adding a deck, and updating flooring, to name a few.I’ve been hearing a lot of different reactions to this question the last few months.

The burning question is: do you own rental properties?

I've had so many deals fall through this year and am feeling exhausted from putting in a lot of time and energy to deal I thought were going to be solid an they ended up falling through. 

I have a property that burned down and may consider doing an exchange (if needed) with cash leftover from paying off mortgage.Can someone send contact info?

I have burned up texts and calls from the other side of the world because of the crises du jour in my rental and flipping businesses.

After 8 years as a director in the kitchen and bath retail space, I'm bringing my positive energy and relationship building to a wholesaling firm covering Los Angeles and San Diego counties (we specialize in single family homes priced between $400-$1.7M).

You can search on Google, attend REI meetings, or explore Facebook groups.People invest a lot of time and energy in generating off-market leads, and connecting with reliable, reputable sources who supply quality deals can be a game changer.

However, that depends on the time/energy/skills he puts into it.I
