@Esther Iroko everyone thinks it's easy to DIY manage their rental - until it isn't.You now need to learn on the fly and quickly!

You learn what you can as quickly as possible, and start implementing.

If you can pay off the HELOC quickly, that is not bad way to go. 

Whether it’s a deep clean or a quick standard turnover, I’d love to know who’s been your go-to.

My investors acquire with cash as a routine investment strategy to secure properties quickly and eliminate competing buyers using financing.

Even though cost of debt quickly doubled in 2022 and interest rates remained higher in good areas properties continued to appreciate in value.

You can definitely spread your cash out pretty far here using this method and scale pretty quickly with the right boots on the ground team!

I should have clarified that what I meant was that there are PMs out there that will do the most expedient thing and accept a tenant just to receive a quick commission.  

If I keep doing the same strategy, putting more money down upfront, I will generate more cashflow now but am delaying how quickly I can purchase houses. 

I wanted something I could fix and flip for the quick capital as well as the experience of managing a project, finding contractors, etc How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
