Ross Smith Anyone used Curbio to flip?!
29 May 2024 | 30 replies
.: •Curbio develops a strong reputation for quality and efficiency•Homeowners are attracted to Curbio’s ability to get things done efficiently, reliably and cost-effectively (no nightmare renos that go on forever)•Curbio continues to enlist realtors as strategic sales partners, by devising a referral commission program for them, to mitigate channel conflict•Curbio maintains sufficient decision-making control (e.g. project types; material & appliance options)•Homeowners are given sufficient preference choices within strict guidelines (e.g. color palettes; good-better-best options materials)But I suspect one of these two growth scenarios for Curbio might happen beforehand:•Expand current offerings to owners of rental properties•License technical infrastructure and processes to qualified contractors
Maddison Martin Unique situation I am in, possibly buying my landlords triplex in Belmont Heights
27 May 2024 | 4 replies
Not all investors share the same goal.If it's strictly positive cash flow, you're going to have a tough time meeting that goal while living in one of the units these days in Belmont Shore.Under the current economic decisions, if you're going to live in one of the units, a more realistic goal might be to subsidize your mortgage with the other two incomes to bring your mortgage payment down, build equity, ride the market appreciation, force some appreciation of your own, refinance when rates are in your favor to crush the mortgage payment down, and keep positive cash flow for a long-term goal.Belmont Shore is a nice area where homes hold their value well and enjoy good appreciation as well as strong rents and in general, the type of renters landlords are looking for.Belmont Shore is also a good area for short-term rentals and you may want to consider renting one unit as an LTR and the other as an STR.Ultimately, your situation is going to dictate whether this triplex is a good investment for you and your husband but as a Long Beach resident, I know that Belmont Shore is an area that people aspire to buy a home in.

Jay Smith Tenant won’t pay Security deposit
25 May 2024 | 17 replies
Appreciate all the responses and advice I read them all with thought and made my decision I’ll evict if the SD isn’t paid by end of the month.To answer some questions I bought the house when I was young (24) It was a fixer upper so I was desperate for tenants and I’ll be honest I didn’t know any betterOne reason why I waited this long was because I’m in NJ we had extremely strict laws during Covid and courts were closed for about 3 years also he pays rent (current market value) every month and doesn’t trash the placeIn a way I’m glad this happened though you can only learn from your mistakes and I’ll DEFINITELY be more strict moving forward Thanks again everyone for helping me make my decision
