Overall, sounds like there is more inventory coming on line in 2025 in some major markets so wondering what some of those leading indicators of a "bottom" might be.

Your experience as a real estate agent, coupled with your technical expertise, makes you a strong asset to the local investment community.Your “live and flip” strategy and focus on PML partnerships sound like a smart approach to building your portfolio.

We realized the screws we were using were too small for the door hinge and we just had to finish that small bottom corner.1/26/25 - We went to Lowes and picked up some 1 1/2 inch door hinge screws (sound in the screw/nail section) and went back to the rental.

Hi Robert, your situation sounds exactly like another gentleman I am working with right now and helping with his 1031 strategy and execution.

With the equity you’d free up, paying off $50k in personal debt and boosting your credit score while freeing up $3k/month sounds like it could significantly lower your stress and open doors for future projects.That said, selling means you’d lose a cash-flowing asset, even if it’s not huge.
