Brandon is estimating similar capex on his five-plex to what Ben estimates for a SFR.It would be great to get a "four-years-later" update from Brandon on this property's status, but I'm also curious whether others here think that Brandon's feat can be replicated - and actually pan out the way his article forecasts, or is Ben's cold water the final word?

I agree with other comments above that $10k is not enough to invest in a buy and hold property yet, but you might want to take a look at an article I wrote about an alternative where I invest in portfolios of 10 SFR at a time, that are co-owned by the managers who are local to the properties in the midwest.

The NC chapter pertaining to contracting is NCGS Chapter 87, and it covers HVAC & plumbing (Article 2), electrical (Article 4), etc.

From all the articles, blog posts and the podcasts.  

I'm curious to hear opinions on this article.
