There are probably many posts that contain similar information to this one, but I thought it would be of value to future and existing investors who are starting their journey.We recently completed rehabbing a duplex we bought for $93k and rehabbed for $75k (in retrospect, we could've negotiated a lower price 🤷‍♂️ - discussion for a different post), hitting an ARV of $190k when our target ARV was $170k.Two things that stood out for me that helped us secure a higher ARV that anyone can use in their next BRRRR were:1) Fix the property to be in the top 75th percentile -> To improve our success rate, we consulted with both our agent and our PMC on what kind of materials and finishes the best properties (highest ARV Comps and Rent Rates) had in the area.

For the record, I receive ZERO compensation for making this referral!

My goal for 2025 is to purchase an out of state rental to explore new markets!

This is NOT to pile on as hindsight is 20/20, but maybe some one else reading this will see this and avoid this same mistake. 

I can send photos to anyone who would like to see but I don't really want to post this link publicly because of the obvious desperation of my post lol... 

You don't need gig speed for this, just enough to connect and control from your phone. 

I'm interested in learning all I can about this kind of stuff and wanting to dive in and have rental pay my monthly mortgage!!!

@Leland S.This is going to be very costly and the issue it is not resolving is vibratory noiseHaving built many building there is sound and vibration transmission - you can dampen the sound (again costly) but if it’s hardwood floors or a kid above it’s not going to stop the pounding / jumping .Is this a real issue brought by the tenant?

My name is JJ and a really good buddy from my church guided me to this website.

Between a demanding FT job (that I enjoy,) a wife who also works FT, and two young children, I have no real desire to "all in" to real estate as a FT career at this point in my life.
