Doing a BRRRR is going to get you to your second and third property faster but you should do whatever you a comfortable with to prevent you from becoming super stressed out.

I'm looking to start scaling up and acquiring faster (better!)

this is great, I just feel that it'd go faster if I have more than one person looking for deals, but I agree it might not be fair.

Having 2 bathrooms vs. 1 will certainly increase the value and help it to sell faster should you list it down the road, as most buyers are looking for a 3 bd 2 bth house.If you're running new plumbing to the enclosed porch area for the new bath, that'll be your biggest expense, but for a bath size of 6x10 you should certainly be able to do it for less than $10k.Did you go through with the deal?

So when a loved one is going through something difficult, know that the simple act of being there to show your love and support can make the difference between them succumbing to the weight of the pressure, or rising up to the occasion and pushing through to the other side.

DealMachine just makes it faster!

The more time he can dedicate to growing his wealth bucket, the faster it will grow.If he doesn't have much time or knowledge yet, a syndication for non-accredited investors is good way to learn.He could also put that capital down on a 4-plex and househack.Or find a great partner who has the experience and can put his capital to use in harmony with your friend's investing goals The other options you listed seem too risky if he doesn't have much experience.Good luck 

Leverage allows you to scale faster while your tenants pay down the remaining balance.

I have had a few minor issues during the first lease year, but found the faster you respond to these situations the happier your tenants will be.

FYI, new back splash is pretty, but occupant comfort will be worth its weight in gold, when you’re not receiving calls on a Sunday about the AC.
