Back yard landscaping, numerous smart home feature, standalone AC unit for the guest house.

For example, if you are looking to scale your portfolio with the BRRRR method but cant find deals that are discounted, could you do upgrades to the house (new front porch, kitchen, bathrooms, extra bedroom, finished garage/basement etc)?

@Brandon Sturgill I’m not sure of the suicide method but I know that a professional environmental cleanup company serviced the property.Thanks for that thought!

At the end of the day, I find it better to be in a position where I can hold someone accountable for breaking my stuff than being a middle man between two tenants fighting over what one tenant did to another's stuff in the common area.This strategy is lucrative though, and I have seen many investors choose that method where I am based out of in San Diego.

I have changed the deadbolts to QwikLock SmartKey with the option to enter a numerical code, use an online platform for all leases, tenant credit checks, maintenance requests, rent and deposit payment, etc., will set up a virtual open house time frame to have tenants FaceTime/Zoom with me to do the walkthrough.

One of my focuses will be best methods to analyze STR deals.

Isn’t that the same as the BRRR method but the only difference is that I’m not getting my cash back right away ?

Seems the dirty little trick and lazy method of debt collection is to report the credit bureau straightaway...I mean why not handle more accounts and collect on more accounts instead of wasting time picking up the phone, emailing, or otherwise tracking me down?

However, I've heard this same nightmare scenario from numerous investors in a local REIA.It's a really stupid law meant to protect sub-contractors from getting screwed but it just screws someone else, the investor who already paid enough to pay everyone, instead of the person that the sub-contractor should go after... the GC.And yeah, in California, it's a safe bet to bet that a permit is required for just about anything.

Hard to tell at this point.Why are you choosing STR's vs. other methods?
