I ended up doing a streamline loan because the renovation was under $35,000, which means they gave me half the money up front and half the money when it was done. 

After a few years some of your processes should be streamlined so it could get easier and you could keep your job or if you are really liking the general contracting of BRRR rentals you can quit and start doing that.

It has streamlined all of it for me.

I'm not sure I would be personally opposed to it (seems like it could streamline a lot of things), but I could see where if you had a conflict of interest, you've now lost several team members in one. 

In order to improve cash flow, I am electing to manage the properties myself, however, I'm planning on using a software to help streamline things.

We saw the 7th worst year on record for stocks, people got wiped out with crypto, maybe commodities.

Pros: cash flow opportunities, streamlined and efficiency of management of four units, one driveway/roof/yard, etc, diverse financing options, lower insurance, less vacancy burden to name a few.Cons: more transient tenants, more limited exit strategy, increased tenant complaints due to closer quarters.We’ll be acquiring more multi-unit properties very soon.Ladd

My current niche - acquisition of vacant land (in urban/residential rural areas) via tax liens & deeds, appreciate the value of properties I acquire (I own a permaculture company that installs food forests so I highly look forward to intertwining the worlds of regenerative ecology with real estate), and wholesale to buyers that want to either build and resell at  market value, or to homeowners that want to build a dream home on a property that comes with a biodiverse exotic fruit orchard (which can be streamlined as a side business or appreciated as an amenity that provides abundance for friends and family). 

I know here in California there have been some new laws that help streamline the ADU building process like plan reviews in 60 days or less, waived impact fees, etc.

Additionally, the need for professional management services for these properties has increased, as investors look for ways to maximize their returns and streamline operations.
