We invested $55,000 in key renovations, focusing on modernizing the interiors, improving curb appeal, and ensuring the property met market expectations.

One week into 2025 and the US housing market is facing considerable new challenges.

However, proving material participation with a full-time job can be challenging, especially if tasks are outsourced, as the IRS scrutinizes such claims.

I apologized and said (and truly meant) I'd follow up on it and improve for the future.

However, we have a two-pronged process to credit repair: negative items remove and positive items improve.

I’ve done two rehabs from out of state so far, and I can relate to the challenges you mentioned.One thing I learned the hard way is that managing rehabs remotely can be tough.

While I’m open to both turn-key and fixer-upper properties, my preference leans slightly toward value-add opportunities where I can improve the property and increase equity or cash flow.That said, I’m also happy to consider turn-key options that provide immediate cash flow if they fit within my investment strategy.
