I'm not holding my breath on this one.

In fact in some ways I like it better since all the properties I've purchased have some kind of deffered maintenance that a middle class renter would not put up with, the lower income people are happy to have a nice clean place to live though and arent as picky. this gives me some extra breathing room and income flowing in while I complete the work.

Whenever we use a new trade, there is always an element of holding your breath and waiting to see how it goes... not to mention the difference in work flow created by a new personality and crew, and the need for enhanced oversight by management during the job.

I don't have any real rehab skills myself, I am an able bodied guy, and can learn, but I have no real skills at this time.After Thanksgiving I am looking for the quickest way possible to put 5k in my hands to breath for 2 months, followed by 10k, 20k, and then focus on regular passive income and continual flips.

I said all you have is air and oppertunity bit*# and your breathing up all the air!

It's tough to tell somebody they're an idiot and then in the same breath ask them to help you close your loan.

The HYSA is slightly more at risk than the MM, but for the sake of this debate I believe both can be mentioned in the same breath to have little to no risk of inflationary pressure. 

Just from a breathing room perspective.

Sellers get tired of paying the heat bills and tax time is just around the bend so there are some that can feel the IRS breathing down their neck.

That is what I call the middle way, do the annual payments and find a tad more  breathing room.
