While BRRRR works for scaling, explore turnkey rentals or creative financing in cash flow-heavy markets to accelerate growth.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Involving home warranty companies can sometimes create delays in repairs/replacements. 

I'm looking to create my own wealth and build something for my family. 

Since I don't have the experience that I aspire to have yet, I'm looking to create a relationship with some guidance without being taken advantage of.

I wouldn't rule out a duplex as we have far more duplex properties than quadplexes.

If you dont have a great team to work with you can lose your shirt even if the house is next door to where you live... there are lots of great areas but only a limited number of great teams so our final choice has always been team driven... saying that we look for an area where there are lots of opportunities  and rental houses available in good areas using the 2 % rule  we found this in Detroit and Toledo  more then willing to share what we do and what we have learnt over the years

My last note would be to try to buy 3 or less replacement properties, it makes the exchange much easier and you avoid some additional rules.

In this economic environment, creativity rules. 

If your rental rate is below the market anyway, a Tenant might consider this to be win as they would get the lower rate in the beginning and just rise to the level they were looking at everywhere else.Step clauses can be written right into the lease, or created by using 3 month lease terms with an auto-renewal at the step up rental rate price. 

Things that could get in the way im putting out there now to make sure no surprises after someone does the work to get me quotes- New York State - Appraisal will barely be past 100k if that- 98% of my income comes from my rental portfolio (thats a new fun rule (to me) I just learned about)- Prefer something without a ton of fees and such.
