Get out of the comfort zone yes but maybe in a responsible way, either way you are in the right frame of mind.

For us, at present, this means 4-6%, which we´re comfortable with for all of our tenants. 

Add that to a majority of people doing what I do are going to find a way to maximize their personal profits.

Just make sure you are comfortable with the projected rents in the area and have at least an inkling of a backup strategy...for example if you are going to be renting it out as a standard long term rental, if you needed to perhaps go section 8 or go with travel nurse housing....would the numbers still napkin out in that case? 

I'm challenging myself to push my comfort zone and I'm going to do my best to go to an in-person auction (this will be my first) to see how it is done.

We took a family vacation here and there and we don't pinch pennies, but we were essentially doing that from our W-2 income so we could maximize investment dollars.In December 2020 I reached a net worth of about $2 million, had almost $200,000 in the bank, rentals were grossing almost $20,000 a month, and no debt.

I’d recommend finding the right agent and committing to them but don’t be afraid to ask for any additional clauses to the agency agreement that make you feel more comfortable with the arrangement.

Start investing to maximize your profits.

That certainly maximizes cash flow.  

This is based on my comfort level and previous experience working on properties.
