My insurers reimburse me for what I didn't use; it can take a few weeks for the check to come, but that's just cash flow management then.

**Time and Effort**: The buy and hold strategy is less time-intensive, allowing me to focus on managing and optimizing rental income rather than undertaking extensive renovations and refinancing processes.That being said, I am interested in trying the BRRRR method in the future.At the time of purchase, I lacked the skills and knowledge necessary to attempt the BRRRR method without exposing myself to risks I was not prepared for.Hope that answered your questions.

I own and manage 14 single family homes, all occupied nearly 95% of the time (stable rental market in my area), and currently analyzing a deal and figured why not ask for more input from all of you!

We are starting to sell cabins individually and transition into property management, which will enable us to grow and decrease our workload.

This strategy requires knowledge of local markets, renovation costs, and the ability to manage or oversee renovations.I am a loan officer and I could advise you on how to tap into that equity and put that money to work.

Things like this can be relatively low cost low risk propositions if managed well but can set your units apart from others who don't offer these things.

With hundreds of rentals under management, it is extremely rare that I let a tenant do work.

@Michael Bishay I leave screening tenants up to my property manager.

Background: My wife and I have managed 3 properties in N GA since 2021.Has anyone ever included customizable add-ons within their STR listing as a way to differentiate their listing but also increase profit?
