Investors aren’t avoiding the work, they’re just focusing on higher returns and leveraging their experience.That said, even the high-level investors we work with still BRRRR single-family homes, they’ve just added larger deals into the mix.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Chances are very high that you are not claiming tax losses that you should be.There are many ways to create relationship problems and one highly successful one is mixing business with pleasure. 

The quick sale reflected the high demand generated by the improvements and the strategic pricing.

@Kristin Vegas NARPM standards highly recommend PMCs provide copies off ALL receipts to their clients.Going to guess your PMC is a one-man operation or close to it.

@Micah Huffman unless you are going to commit to learning some basics about being a landlord AND are willing to commit at least 2-4 hours each month managing a Property Management Company - it's probably best you sell.Otherwise, it's highly likely you could lose more due to bad tenants and management.

  $3000 sounds pretty high to me for the area.Downside is you're renting to someone who can't pay rent...and has money challenges. 

I did not pay for the course or get any deeper because I figured 1) High return = high risk, and I am at a point where I can't afford to lose that kind of money; and 2) I didn’t see a value in a course- why not network with local investors who need down payment, and work it out directly on a deal that I could more easily underwrite?

I updated the kitchen with high-end appliances, installed custom cabinetry, and added modern finishes throughout.

Mark I really wish I had seen your post before I paid for JN's program.Also high five to:  Anne Barnett Wholesaler from Omaha, NE - replied over 1 year agoI noticed that statue in the background of JN's videos also - I wondered if it was placed there as his "good luck" piece or placed strategically to impress his audience.My experience:  I came across Jerry Norton's RE investing book several years ago but had not bought into any program back then.
