Learn how to consistently hit singles and doubles over a long period of time.

For example, drop the price to $1,500 but require a credit score of 700+ and a double deposit.

And this helps make admin tasks more palatable.I have also started working with a virtual assistant to body-double me. 

@Kitty Walker- As an investor, I've refinanced multiple Padsplits and co-living properties (where we go direct to tenant without Padsplit), and I generally agree with your last statement, with some caveats:- if the renovation is done well, the appraiser may not even say anything that would indicate it is an "abnormal" SFR (has happened multiple times with me)-the investor may be wise not to make the house crazy- just leave a nice open living room, put double doors on the dining room so it can function as a bedroom now but be easy to convert later, etc.  

The first year we did this was 2023, and our deal flow tripled, while our closed deals more than doubled.  

Some will collect first and a deposit equal to two months of rent.I personally recommend first and a double deposit.

There is always a possibility of denial.In no way am I trying to double dip.

I have three properties in Georgia that doubled in property taxes and one to include sewe assessments.

So until supply loosens buyers will be forced to get creative and pay up.I don’t think it’s the overall crazy demand like you’ve seen in single families driving up prices- there is just literally almost zero double inventory.I did three doubles last year and still shocked I picked them up at decent prices in Lakewood.

This is due to the  increase in mortgage rates and house prices.Pros/cons as I see it:Pros: two appreciating assets versus one; as rents rise, we’ll make more net income.cons: less cash flow, double capex, double maintenance.Anyone mind letting me know your thoughts?
