Instead of their cash sitting in a savings account, they decided it would be a better investment to earn 3% on their money instead of .03% in the bank.

From podcasts to forums, you’ve all helped me learn, save, and build the confidence to take this step.That said, I’m reaching out to ask for advice.

mortgage paydown, maybe some tax savings - consult your CPA - and hopefully long term appreciation.i'm looking for my next BRRRR - which isn't a cash flow strategy either - and i keep getting outbid. 

Is it better to pay cash or leverage my liquidity to maximize ROI while retaining flexibility?

I also explained to them multiple times, I save money by being both the contractor and investor on my projects.

Quote from @Charles Fay: Hello all, first time posting and wanted to ask for your advice.currently in the military awaiting a 9-12 deployment within the next 6 months.I will have ~150k savings after deployment, 85k before, with no debt, payments or anything other than basic bills, 750+ credit.

Throughout my career as a real estate investor and CEO, I have learned valuable lessons on maximizing the potential of each unit in a property.

I suspect maximizing the investment might make it slightly less desirable as an owner or at least the renovations might have lower ROI if sold to a homeowner.

Steve if you can go without buidling the extra garage below the ADU it will save a lot of money. if you can get two studios it will do much better than one ADU.

While metrics like square footage or price per square foot matter, the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall location are often more critical for attracting tenants.Engaging a property manager early on can save you from costly mistakes and help you invest in properties that perform well in the rental market.
