It must also be executed and acknowledged with the same formality as a property deed.So what got me to thinking about starting this thread is that all of my children are single, but I am thinking about helping them get started in their own business prior to them getting married.What I don’t want to see happen is someone marry them and then kick them to the curb and then want half of everything they worked for or I help them with.

Start with your primary, rent out any spare bedrooms "house hack"Use that to practice upgrades, kitchen, bathroom, curb appeal... etcNow you have experience as a landlord and flipper, use that to buy a distressed propertyAdd 40% equity to the property through home makeover, refinance into a low cost mortgageNow you are cashflowing a healthy margin on a second property, use that to build equity over time, cashout later and buy your duplex/quad.If it's going to take you 10 years to save up a down payment for a small apartment building, yeah it makes more sense to start growing your portfolio with cheap SFR flips instead.Every market is different, every borrower is different, every property is different, it would be ill-advised to recommend anything without recognizing the individual's nuanced goals and objectives with their next acquisition.

On top of that, we repainted the house to boost curb appeal and really make it stand out.

Have gloves and masks for the men , you dont know whats inside Send them a letter telling the residents that on DEC 12 they will be evicted and all their belongings will be put on the curb .

Strategic upgrades enhanced the property’s curb appeal and market value, making it more desirable to buyers and ensuring a competitive sale.

Seems like the a little bit of a rocky start, but the curb appeal is now beautiful!  

I added value by doing cosmetic updates and transforming the curb-appeal.What was the outcome?

Efficient Renovations: Focused on high-impact upgrades like modernizing the kitchen and bathrooms, improving curb appeal, and installing energy-efficient features, which are highly desirable in this competitive market.Optimizing Layout: Evaluated the property's layout to ensure it met modern buyer preferences, such as creating open-concept spaces.

I would like to bring them closer to the curb, but if I can't I will just chop them down.

I would have garbag cans at the curb or a dumpster pad, and have them responsible to throw their own garbage away, and keep the areas clean.
