Lenders or investors who have short lock up periods but have years of experience feeding their business with new capital would give me more comfort but anyone who is just starting and is promising a rate of return or return of capital in a set period of time would be alarming because they very well could be reliant on fresh capital to make good on that promise and that usually ends poorly.

Absolutely - East Hill is a really popular area for traveling heath care professionals, as well as military on short term TDY orders who are looking for furnished stays.Keys to success for my condo have been keeping the furniture fresh, and not looking like every other listing out there.

So yet, there are a lot of fresh units just hitting the market this year and new ones that will hit soon adding to the competition. 

Maybe a fresh coat of paint, flooring, unless what's there now if salvageable, make sure your electrical and plumbing  are in good working order.

I have both listened to the podcast and read some of the books produced by BP so it's been fun learning about different strategies people have used to expand and grow their portfolios.

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).
