Where it might take you a couple weeks, and it's exhausting work, save your energy for later in the project.Then I prefer to get the basement in shape. 

Truth is No One, other than an investor’s own CPA or tax professional should be calculating an investor’s After Tax return.

These days its very risky to go it alone especially if you have anything bigger to rent than an ADU and especially if you are located anywhere that is 'tenant friendly' which is increasingly most larger municipalities and the coasts.

A landlord asking a tenant to leave is a whole lot different than an eviction.

Cast a wider net than an exact comp.

I was single, exhausted, and had extremely limited friend/family time.Here are some items I flipped on eBay (focused on vintage/higher end electronics): I was able to put 10% down ($45K) on the 2nd house hack: #2Purchase Price: $412,500WHAT WENT WRONG AT PROPERTY #1 AND #2 IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS: (Keep in mind, both properties are from the 1970's)Property #1: - Water heater leak (replaced) (approx. $1,900 replacement)- Brand new replacement water heater then leaked less than 1 year later (was leaking for multiple days before I was aware, $2,500 to fix properly)- Old shower handle fell off, exposing old piping that was "about to burst" per plumber ($750 replacement) - Kitchen sink leak ($250 repair) - Old breaker panel replacement (approx. $2,000) - Fence post fix ($350) - New Furnace ($5,500) - Bird infestation removal resealing attic ($850)- New Vapor Barrier in crawl space ($975)Property #2: - New Water Heater ($2,000) - Repaired main water line ($950)- Hot tub removal ($600) - Tree removal ($1,235) - Bathroom fan replacement ($500) - Towel Bar replacement ($150) - New microwave ($450) - Pergola removal ($400) - (Due to damage from roofing materials crushing part of it during a strong wind) - New Roof ($13,695)I have probably missed a few items as well..... 

I didn’t have the funds for another purchase (I used savings for the first purchase and exhausted my HELOC for the second purchase.)3. 

It took me less than an hour to get everything setup.

The rat race of the technology vertical is proving to be quite exhausting. 

As such, an investor funding a $120,000 BRRRR buy and rehab in all cash grows the portfolio much slower than an investor who executes three $120,000 projects with $40,000 invested in each (with hard money financing of the remaining $80,000).
