Having immediate and constant control of property, plus value add is the most attractive part of REI. $300k in liquidity is certainly a good starting point.

@Kay NemenWe’ve found the best way to raise rent is:Determine market rentShare the proof with the tenantTell the tenant, given your rent is $x and market rent is $y, what do you think if a fair increase?

(i.e. no market loss, has death benefit, attracted to access before age 59.5, etc..)

The best part of these renovations you do for your own house is that not only will it make it nicer to live in, but it will increase the value of the house too!

The idea of having a cash flowing portfolio large enough to reduce or even fully step away from my regular work is obviously very attractive, but as a total beginner I don't want to set my sights too high without first gaining some experience in REI.

My last property, which should have been very attractive to voucher holders, had 100+ inquiries, 20+ applicants, and... 1 was a S8 voucher holder.I chose a cash paying tenant and she's amazing!

Increase leverage on your Construction Financing for your new builds.
