Are you wanting to replace your job and do REI fulltime or just part time investing, or?

Only about $3k was spent to make upgrades and improvements to the property.

Treat this property as a business and factor in all the associated expenses, including mortgage payments (if you pull a loan), maintenance, and potential vacancy periods.To simplify management and make this less of a hands-on job, I’d strongly recommend working with a property management company.

She paid us up front for 12 months of rent & then paid herself each month & at the end of year 1 she paid us for another 12 months...she did this until her credit improved. 

There is a ring camera system that has a job site security package as well some of my investors use for their projects do not have internet it works off cellular connection. 

For example, if you buy a home for 100k, and then improve the property and now it is worth 200k. 

Great job for taking the leap.

Great job amassing that portfolio!

This gives you a foundation for making a fair offer.Secure Financing: Be prepared to show you’re a serious buyer with funding lined up, whether through cash, traditional financing, or a creative option like seller financing.Have a Strategy for Repairs or Development: If the property is distressed, outline how you’ll handle improvements to bring it back to productive use.
