Maintenance is minimal with a rock garden and tons of perennial flowers.

I'm aware that full time realtors typically do quarterly tax payments to avoid penalties and to minimize their tax burden once April 15th comes but I'm wondering if that's still required/recommended for me since I only did that one deal and also pay taxes as a W2 worker?

More about me:Sole provider for family, good income but minimal savings/disposable income to invest at the moment.

Since this used a minimal amount of cash, I'm hoping to do these annually while also saving enough to start incorporating BRRRR's and STR's into my portfolio.

I also set tangible goals that keep the process real - like attending open houses, or viewing available homes; when looking for my first deal, I had set the goal of one viewing per day, which was usually just driving by a property (didn't want to to waste Realtors time since I knew I wasn't ready to buy yet), even if just on my way home work.

If very few are offering this additional 1/2 bath,  then adding it may only result in minimal increase rent.

It’s a shotgun approach to insurance, in that they shop the entire market and find the companies that will accept your risk instead of you, yourself calling 10 insurance companies and wasting your time.

I typically do this very quickly myself, before I waste anybody else's time.

The red-light districts were a rational acknowledgement that there are certain behaviors that will never be eliminated in a democratic society, and rather than waste a lot of time and effort trying to eliminate them, corral them into one area that can at least be controlled.

Our realtor was so helpful with this deal - since hardly anyone was in the market we had a lot of leverage and we simply set a deadline for when our offer would stand and if they didn't take it we were out (they were getting minimal offers at the time).They accepted our offer and we closed May 7th of 2020.
