I’m looking to connect with those of you who are actively using or interested in the BRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy to scale your rental portfolios.Whether you’re new to BRRR or a seasoned investor, I’m here to discuss best practices, potential local opportunities, and ways we can collaborate to make your investments efficient and profitable.

My mortgage will be $2,005/month, and I’m budgeting up to $600/month for utilities, leaving a potential monthly cash flow of $995.I also set up an LLC and a business account to track rental income and expenses.Questions:Do you have any advice for me as a young real estate investor?

Something with more doors and more potential.

If this job popped up out of the blue, your intent was not to move within the 1st year, so you may be ok.If you are planning on building a portfolio of homes, it is safest to stick in your home for 12 months to reduce the appearance of potential fraud.
