Exterior Deck or PatioAdding an outdoor living space like a deck or patio extends the usable living area and enhances the home's appeal, especially in regions with warm weather.In addition to these improvements, understanding the local real estate market and focusing on upgrades that align with buyer preferences in that area is crucial for maximizing ARV.Noah, thank you for this great feedback.

When I told her that we already had her try again and I would prefer if she just paid me back for the handyman services I had to incur after the first round, she stopped communicating with me.

Renters may prefer paying 40 less per month rather than the one time $500 discount. $40/month off works out much better for the tenant, even though they may not realize it, and it's a killer for the landlord

The customers prefer ATM, as you don't have to go to branch at business hours and wait in line, you can simply do it at 24-hour ATM.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: I think that this BP forum takes on that deal-killer function very well......at least it can if/when investors take the time to post their questions and concerns.It should, but because some (not all) investors are fragile about criticism or prefer an echo chamber, it often falls into a back-and-forth where we are trying to help on our own time, and they are rejecting it and calling us naysayers.

Prefer keeping this kind of stuff behind closed doors if possible and sorting it out without revealing dirty laundry.I would have been in the same boat as many other turnkey providers that are no longer around if I didn't focus on limiting how much business I take on.And even with my stupidly strict criteria, we still copped the brunt of the sword.Business is business and people are people, sometimes things just don't work out.It's a true shame but such is life.I always want whats best for everyone and for every deal to work out and for everyone to succeed.With the best intentions, mistakes are still made.Those that work hard and do their best, will also make mistakes unfortunately.Again, I sleep in peace and whenever I F@#$ up, it's an honest mistake so crucify me all you want.Thank God, never been sued and back round is squeaky clean and I intend to keep it that way.Less is more and when crisis does arise (It always eventually does no matter how much you prepare and do your best), we can hopefully rectify and do our best to fix.For example, just had an investor loose $50,000 on a deal and the next few deals we are working for free for this investor.We don't have to do this, we want to...Not sure how we would be able to accommodate such an instance if I had 50+ investors loosing that much so I guess my stringent on-boarding criteria has saved our A$$ for 10+ years now.Granted, I'm burnt out on folks and have pulled back even more from doing our "measly" 4-5 turnkey deals per month and have decided to focus on just building my own portfolio.Like I initially intended when I moved to this country in 2012.Thanks mate and keep being great

Personally, I prefer to target tenants with full vouchers, as they won’t have to pay anything out of pocket.
