Eventually, I aim to refinance with conventional financing and repay the hard-lending loan. 

Deciding between an SFR or a BRRRR strategy can really depend on your risk tolerance and the type of cash flow you’re aiming for.The BRRRR method can be great for long-term equity building and maximizing your returns if you’re up for a more hands-on approach, especially in markets where property values allow for renovations that increase value.

They can be super helpful and a lot of them are aimed at beginners.Volunteer Your Time: Organizations like Habitat for Humanity are awesome for getting hands-on experience.

Emerging markets can offer more value and room for growth, especially for smaller investors aiming to maximize their returns.

True cash flow needs to be 50% net of your PITI, but we can use banking measures of 75%.

Take pictures and measure your risk/reward.

Matterport, in my opinion, is a step above traditional video tours because it allows people to tour the property and view the measurements of each room. 

When I first started this thread, I really was hyper focused on passivity, but I have tried to implement more immediate and less drastic measures to help reduce the stress, so I can hang with my current primary asset and squeeze a good amount of appreciation, that is still available.Thanks for contributing and best of luck!

Im a college student currently working on my capstone project where Im aiming to build a property management software.

Here are a few thoughts I have:Market Research: I’m willing to dedicate time to researching potential properties and analyzing market trends to help identify lucrative deals.Networking: I aim to build relationships within the local real estate community, which could open doors to new opportunities for us all.Project Management: My military experience has equipped me with strong organizational and logistical skills that could help streamline processes and improve communication.I would love to hear from seasoned investors about their thoughts on partnering with someone who may not have a financial contribution upfront.
