Make your plan, map it out, understand the financial impact that some vacancy, turnover and unit refurb costs will have on your cashflow and decide the pace that's right for you.With a staged plan to raise rents slowly or force some turnover by not renewing existing leases, I'm sure you can get the rents up to market within six months to a year.Good luck!

I don't offer late checkout often as I have already scheduled the cleaners to start at checkout time.I have told cleaners to feel free to pull into drive way at checkout time to motivate someone who is running late to pick up the pace.

Also, please do not speculate that prices will continue upward at this pace.

Hey @Ryan Keenan I ended up going with the conventional loan and really the pace of 2 investment properties per year has worked out well for us. 

Like I said, I'm not a market expert but you have to ask yourself if wages have gone up to keep with the pace. 

Literally by definition you cannot invest without having money. so I would suggest, as everyone else has, go make those cold calls, get dirty, or be okay with a slower paced investment process.

In some states, there are C-PACE programs which can roll the installation cost into property assessments and amortize it over the long run.

My assumption is that you would need your rental income to at least keep pace with the inflation as this will likely drive your expense percentage increase. 

I could enter land investing at my own pace starting with less than 10k. 3) I literally had over 50 business ideas I wanted to try next.

However, the Verizon rep did warn us that if internet service is slow in our area (which in general it is), that other households may also rely on LTE hotspots as their main internet source and this may slow down service all around :(  I guess this is a temp. solution until we get Comcast internet installed (or AT&T internet improves from a current snails-pace of 3 megabytes per second).
