Since you’re renting out partially, a common method is to use the square footage of the rented areas relative to the total property space.

When you do ceilings you only have to paper/ plastic the light fixtures and maybe some smoke alarms, you can hang plastic over windows, but the paint is usually dry before it hits them and wipes off easily.

You can use any reasonable method to prove your participation in an activity for the year.

I will even go as far as paying for the UHAUL for local moves and using the proactive scheduling method..."

I simply thought putting it out there in the Forum might keep someone from unknowingly buying something that might leave you out to dry.

Deciding between an SFR or a BRRRR strategy can really depend on your risk tolerance and the type of cash flow you’re aiming for.The BRRRR method can be great for long-term equity building and maximizing your returns if you’re up for a more hands-on approach, especially in markets where property values allow for renovations that increase value.

Those of us that stick to proven methods of buy-and-hold will look like geniuses after 20+ years.

I've gotten to know the syndicator, the methods and the underwriting used.

You could even consider an AirBnBRRRR strategy, which combines short-term rentals with the BRRRR method.

I've just closed on two turnkey deals in Memphis and so far it's been a good experience, so just weighing my next options and I think the BRRRR method will very likely increase my CoC return so just trying to build up some contacts should I decide to go that route as my next experiment.
