I'm currently in a rent to own house we are moving out of and will be renovating and renting.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $11,500 With the proceeds of the sale of our first fixer upper we purchased this duplex which we moved into one unit and same month purchased another duplex in another town to BRRRR.

When a tenant moves out, transfer the deposit back to Checking so it's ready to apply towards expenses or to refund to the Tenant.If you end up with excess funds in the Checking account, I recommend you transfer it to a third account that is specifically designated for future investments.

Then just ask: Hey, since you moved out of state I was wondering what your intentions were with this house.

What’s your first move?

There are still a ton of jobs and people continuing to move into that market. 

And I have tenants that make multiple small payments every month because after they’ve moved in they’ve had their finances screwed up from what they were when I screened them.

The limited 203k is no longer limited to 35,000 - it's now up to 75,000 in repairs, and thats for projects where there is no change to structure, IE, no moving walls, alterations, additions etc.

Cost segregation studies move deductions out of future decades and mostly into the purchase year and the year following that.

If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!
