Account Closed Hi Rhonda, If honest I spent about $8,000, some say its a lot, (my parents did) some say its small when compared to many programs out there, either way I took a leap of faith and saw the potential it had for my future.  

Even one vacancy or non-paying tenant could potentially be a major problem.And yes, there were vacancies, and non-paying tenants, and major problems.

If it were me, I would like consider refinancing only 1 of the 2 properties now and considering the second later in 2025 or even early 2026 when rates potentially soften.

Before purchasing a rental property carefully evaluate the appreciation potential.

Research the area's nuances, understand BRRRR financing strategy, network with local investors, analyze potential deals, use VA loans wisely, explore financing options, and network through investor groups.

@Quan Pham have you investigated at all the potential increases in property taxes and home insurance (need to have landlord policy) and included them in your cashflow calcluations?

I’m looking to connect with local investors to exchange insights, experiences, and potential opportunities.Thank you, and I look forward to building meaningful connections! 

This is where I'm very inexperinced and don't understand what is standard for industry or what could potentially bite me down the road.

Be sure to actually contact the landlord for verification—fake references are more common than you’d think.In-Person Meeting: Meeting potential roommates in person is a great way to get a feel for compatibility.

(We are working on a generalized survey to collect info on our buyers/potential buyers so we can make sure we understand who our customers are while trying to dial in their preferences and patterns.)You are doing great things.
