Sometimes the best investments are the ones you wait for.Here’s the kicker: utilities and zoning can make or break these plays.

They also extort their tenants with fees, break payment contracts, judges orders and their accounting department competency is questionable.

When I have provided it, I write it in the lease that it's not included in the lease and I'm providing it as a courtesy only and if the tenant wants to use it they may and if it breaks down, I won't be replacing it.Allen

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!

Some states like california you can do trust deeds where you break off the loan into multiple pieces.All of these will require significant capital to scale with your own funds. 

And because you cant self promote there is always going to be some way to get some kind of message out there without breaking the rules or offending anyone.. but again I think the success stories threads should be utilized for that. 

My strategy is BRRRR.The way I see it is: I purchase a property and rent it out to hopefully breaking even on the mortgage.

They were lucky to get out breaking even or a small loss.

Scaling up is a big leap, but breaking it down into small, actionable steps—like building a deal pipeline or starting conversations with potential investors—can help keep the process manageable.I’m based in the PNW (Seattle), so if there’s anything I can do to help or if you’d like to collaborate on deals in Washington, feel free to reach out.
