Seldom sell. 

Were they dieting, weighing out food portions?

Quote from @Jordan Connett: Personally i'm in Denver and BRRRR is not a strategy I'm chasing right now due to the fact I cannot cashflow deals with rates and prices. we are still flipping, developing and buying larger apartment projects (sometimes BRRRR on those) but single unit BRRRR is not a strategy for us, here, right now. we are seldom doing Brrr s on single family units  duplexes and 4 plexes are what works.

This is really a great short-cut to analyzing deals, because I can easily look at the ARV spread (which you should seldom trust, by the way) and see if it is even feasible to make how much I want to make.  

In addition a home bought for your use is seldom the best invest RE purchase.  

If you have liquid reserves - say $10k +, and IF the property is in good, not average, not fair, but GOOD condition, and the property is not in a “war zone” and not in a declining area, and the property is not in a city where it is or can be subject to rent control, then you might have negotiated the deal most investors strive for but seldom achieve. 

But start to get out of the SAD (sad american investment diet).Real Estate Investments: Cash flow and appreciation aside for you as a high income earner over 400K AGI its going to be more about saving taxes.

Because of this, we are able to enjoy a very high customer satisfaction rate, seldom encountering complaints such as yours.

My diet went from dining out to consistent beans and lentils.

The other headache is that we seldom get to start and finish the job with the same GC.
