Focus on renovations that prioritize safety, functionality, and compliance with building codes.

I'm guilty of this to a fault at times, prioritizing other peoples families over my own even..but success takes sacrifice and top real estate professionals are generally rewarded for their contributions to protecting and providing for their clients.

Or lines along that.Always prioritize location, then enough reserves to manage the hard times.

@Lorenzo Clark, thank you, great idea to connect with local realtors - and yes, my home inspector guy was great, encouraged me to not think I have to make all repairs at once but can prioritize, and told me what needs to be done ASAP/First - I think I could definitely contact him in the future for ideas/referrals and cost estimates.

If you prioritize debt reduction and long-term financial security, allocating extra funds towards paying off your mortgage can help achieve your goal sooner.

We work very busy jobs and though we do our very best to be good landlords, ensure health and safety are always addressed quickly etc...these tenants are just too much. 

I'm not a wholesaler, but as an end-buyer I wrote a piece about what I think wholesalers should know regarding our mindset and thereby what I think is important to prioritize. 

Seek out neighborhoods where demand is steady or increasing, and take into account elements like conveniences, safety, and the closeness to public transit.Pick a home that fits in with your long-term objectives.

Make sure the lawyer letter has something to the effect of "for your health and safety, we feel it is necessary for you to vacate the property.

I would just be careful and make sure you meet all safety codes for living spaces.
