-Doesn't want to use one agent-Thinks agents just use Zillow and open doors-Wants off-market deals under 10% market price despite insulting same agent and wanting to use multiple at the same time-But no rush to buy, no timeline-Also open to multiple types of homes and within a few hour radiusI am sure you won't like my post but I like being honest on here.

Why not buy more expensive assets so you have same returns with less doors?

One thing that’s jumping out to me is how your House 3 has some serious potential once you carve out that above-garage apartment.

Where I see some disconnect is so many on BP that are so focused on buying RE doors that they basically live well below there means and have all this focus on rentals etc and they miss out on a lot of things there is to do in life..

You'll need at least 125-150 doors to make a decent living, but you won't be able to afford much help. 

I remember visiting a buddy’s place in Austin years back..he had a similar setup over his detached garage and was convinced that adding a window unit and some carpet would let him count that space towards the home’s total square footage.

My partner and I have been investing in OH for about 5 years now, we are cashflow investors and have over 20 doors consisting of SFH and duplexes in OH.

While I do take into consideration all the relevant expenses when I vet a property I still like to see at least $200/door cash flow so I can more easily build up my reserves and have some money to work with.

Also, from what I read in Bloomberg, midterm rentals near major hospitals can sometime command a decent premium.. especially if they include some nice furnishings.Little Tweaks Count: Even minor upgrades, like new door locks or a fresh coat of paint, can help you justify a stronger rent.Driving for Dollars & Networking..
