It turns out the machine was allowing free washes, and with a replacement part should be back up and running. 

Hello, I put my name out there a while back.

I move along past the wins very quickly but sit with the normal and foreseeable challenges/issues for a really long time (and react like they came out of nowhere even though they are normal and did not).I've always been tempted to scoop up a house back home in IL.

Build - Rent - Refinance - Repeat the new BRRR with also hotel development and growing our land entitlement side. hotel development is simple, easy, and has institutional level backing. we really like extended stay development and just came from a hotel conference in Los Angeles. hope to close a few deals this year over 10 million 

It worked out fine, though each time I got a little less than advertised interest rate (about 9% vs 10%) and I had to send a reminder email to to get my money back, but I did get it back.I ask about others' experience, because I'm still not 100% sure it's not a ponzi. 

And my new MTR tenant demanded the beds get maid and there was no hangers in the closest.. my last tenants must have stolen them.. then they wanted stuff moved from the garage which I told them thats enough I will give you your deposit back and you can go find another fully furnished home in Vegas I am not doing anything else.. they backed down but I know they are going to be whinny this after the last 6 or 7 tenants never heard a peep.. properties needed just light cleaning at turnover  etc.. so some good with some bad it happens.

I thought I was a big fish in a little pond back home.

I guess the different strategies FOR ME would be.A- Find a lender that would actually do the refi and pay the tax.B- Sell a property and use those funds to lend as they would go back to the IRA. 

I guess it’s back to the grind on tenant finding for MTR. 😊 Thanks again!

I attended a REI conference back in October 2024 prior to knowing anything about Bigger Pockets or investing in general, and it gave me the motivation to seek out information and shoot for my first couple of deals in 2025.
