Or very very minimal.

While doing all these things minimize your expenses and save as much of your income as you can.

You need to understand that given your situation the asset and operational impact must be absolute minimal, lowest risk exposure possible.

You need to change your pitch from a "Trial & Error" one too an "R&D" one.

Sounds like you got a property with minimal out of pocket.You could try posting the room on FB or Craigslist.

And don't expect the compliant tenants that complained to stay after you minimized their concern and did not address it.

I ran the numbers on the deal knowing that I would break even on cash flow in the first year with minimal rent increases but significant cash flow in year 6 when the 401k loan is paid off.

I do understand that market value becomes what has been paid for a deal but with minimal work and renovations my deals almost always significantly increase in value in the first 6 months.

Strategic Purchase: Acquired a discounted double lot below market value with a $17k impact fee credit.Custom Design: Built a 6-bed, 5-bath home tailored for co-living or multi-gen use, maximizing tenant appeal.Efficient Management: Managed construction, and self-managed operations to minimize costs.Premium Marketing: Furnished the property and used multiple platforms to attract quality tenants quickly, achieving full occupancy.What was the outcome?

If it would help to get a more detailed estimate feel free to reach out.Documentation is rather limited, just ID, bank statement, LLC documents to start.Sometimes there are interest-only options at 30 and 40 years, generally the difference in payment fully amortized over I/O is minimal so it may not be worth it.
