People are consumers and can't stop their addiction for buying more stuff they don't need.

But overall I feel being a Realtor is not quite as time consuming as it used to be.

I realize that raising equity for smaller deals may prove costly and time consuming but it seems an acceptable price to pay to build investor relationships.

How funny that Turtle Creek in Houston (at least when I lived there) was kind of an undesirable part of town and ritzy in Dallas, and same for River Oaks ritzy Houston and much more modest Dallas!

Still building up the capital for my first deal while I consume BRRRR by David Green.

I have thought about short-term rentals, and may look at them again in the future, but Covid-19 has shown that some investments are natively more resilient than others, because they are more important to the consumer than other things. 

Otherwise, I have low expenses to a big expense item like roof or HVAC that ends up consuming many months of “cash flow”.  

Insurance companies will be passing it on to the consumers.

If I go conventional, the down payment will consume all my capital with no room for error. 

I will have to get quotes and ask for a modest price adjustment for panel upgrades.Exterior was good, roof is from 2017, brick didn’t have any cracks or settling.
