If you can establish a solid network (even virtually at first), and maybe leverage your savings to buy a property with rehab in mind, the reward could be the path you're looking for to make those five-year goals a reality.Of course, the risks are there, but if you're comfortable and see the upside, it could be worth leaning into.If you need more insight into BRRRR execution or anything specific about market selection and building a remote team, feel free to ask.Hope that helps!

With the funds you listed and property size you should be able to comfortably have 2 even 3 projects going at once (depending on what you're up for), especially after you sell the current house you are renovating.

I’ve grown professionally, confronted fears, and stepped out of my comfort zone in ways I never expected.

At the time my rate was like 4% and now it’s 10% so agreed with everyone else I wouldn’t do it for long term stuff, but then again I know people who do and it doesn’t seem to bother them so I guess it’s more how comfortable you feel. 

just don't do a lease. as others have mentioned, this forces the buyer of the property to take over the lease (if its even allowed/ they qualify) and it certainly does make the property a little tougher to sell. i'm also doing a house hack, and here in CA, its made a world of difference for me. the bulk of our energy usage is in the summer when we want to run the a/c. my bill stays a constant $228/mo (i pocketed the tax credit and simply financed the panels after that grace period). instead of getting an $800 bill in the summer months, we run the a/c at a constant temperature 24/7 on auto, stay comfortable, and i typically get a little bit coming back at the end of the year. don't expect to pocket this "little bit back" by being conservative with your useage, it sort of is a use-it-or-lose-it situation... i think i got $54 back this year.

I usually adjust temperature right before a check in to make it comfortable for guest.Love the Honeywell 9000 color touchscreen thermostats.They also allow me to locking a temperature range so the guests can't set temperature to 60 in the summer.

However, if you decide to install HVAC, it should be based on the comfort and safety of your tenants.

I always try and let agents get to know me and my company so they are comfortable with our services before even thinking about referring us!

I don't know enough about it to be comfortable with putting a dime into it.

If you’re comfortable being a landlord, keeping it as a rental sets you up for long-term wealth.
