My name is Chelsea and I am new to investing as well!

Over the 30+ years my wife and I have walked and pencilled well over a thousand possible deals. 

If I could move to a more simple software than QBO, it would save me several thousand a year, and the simplicity would be valuable as well.

If you're looking for more flexibility, there are also other commercial and multifamily lenders that could work well with your needs.

Househack properties in 2024 sold 1-2 weeks faster than they did in 2023.Deals are tougher to negotiate as well. 2 of NYC's surrounding Counties (Westchester & Suffolk) are averaging above asking price sales on 2-4 family properties.

It's likely you'll be able to raise the rent as well with the upgraded unit and you can look to market it during the time of rehab.
