Quote from @Stuart Udis: ....But I set the goal of acquiring 50 doors in the next 3 years using the BRRRR method and will then be financially free...isn't that a scalable business :)We see the above type comments from not so experienced investors or business owners all the time being posted on BP.  

Example if you buy a new build at 300k or a renovated 100 year old home at 300k right next door, both should see the same appreciation. 

If you are nearby, if you have ever been a pizza delivery person, maybe deliver a pizza to the wrong house that may or may not be the one being foreclosed on so atleast you can see inside a small portion. we used to just go knock on the door some folks would actually let you look around.

I chose to dabble in buying 8 front doors in Euclid Ohio in 2014 with cash flow I was getting from the condos.  

Fairfax county virginia is very different than Montgomery county maryland even though they are right next door to each other and most do business in both. 

--------------------------------------------------------You do realize that only "Big Government" can fight fires on the scale California has now, and only "Big Government" can do the clean up necessary so redevelopment can be started afterwards.You're just going to let those toxic waste lots sit and fester while people next door rebuild?

I would say that it depends on the PM, I personally have a great connection with my local property manager in Memphis, TN and he manages over 700 doors and still answers my clients property management specific questions as the broker/owner.

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

I currently own a duplex that is cashflowing at 14% COC for 2 years and i figure the more doors the better.

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.
