I charge a scaled pet fee based on the size of the dog with a premium for high risk dogs.

Budget carefully, prioritize high-ROI renovations, and adhere to strict timelines to maximize profitability.

By offering real value in a way that has high demand, I’ve been able to build strong relationships with people who are actively doing deals.

List your property on corporate rental sites like Blueground, Zeus Living, and Furnished Finder to attract high-income tenants. 

However, I had to subordinate the sellers note to 2nd position (hint: set up that language in advance to streamline the process, if that's the direction you're going to go).Since the ARV was high enough, and the potential income would support the mortgage and expenses, it all worked out. 

It’s not sexy like downtown high-rises, but the numbers work—steady cash flow, lower entry costs, and tenants who stick around.Take this: a rural county we’re in just saw a 10% population bump over five years, yet multifamily stock barely budged.

I know a lot of investors have done very well in Peirce County but I just haven't learned or know enough about that market to make an investment there.Washington state properties are expensive and can be difficult to make breakeven let alone cash flow at this moment due to the combination of high prices and interest rates. 

Don't put a high list price based on what you want, needs to be based on solds

The rental market demand is still extremely high and there are a lot of value add opportunities, you just have to be willing to put in the work.

Sometimes hard to find this happy medium in rate sheets, though.Another consideration would be taxes - points are typically treated as interest, so if your tax obligations are high this year vs being higher in the future, then this could also impact buying down now vs paying a little more in interest in future years.
