By 2017/2018, when I had my last section 8 tenant, I felt I was getting about $100 LESS per month than I could have from market tenant AND my annual reinspections were costing me about $1,000-$1,500 in repairs. 

@Babu RamadossIt will vary we’re you are in the country but in AZ the last couple jobs I paid $1.25 to $1.50 per square foot.

Hello BP Private Lenders,Over the last 3 years I've been Lending my family's personal funds to Borrowers for their Flips and Buy/Hold projects.

That means you’re paying in a higher tax bracket this year because you wiped out some 10% taxes last year.

How long is your current "gig" expected to last?

@Michael MorenoAgree with rest.....halt extra mortgage pymt save that to invest in real estate...Keep doing the other non real estate investing bc we all need to be balanced etc ....Lastly we don't know your situation but what about taking on a roommate or room rental to help with the original mortgage?

While some deals may be negative cash in the early years, the area growth will push up both rents and home prices tuning the deal positive within a couple of years.In your stated price range (200K - 300K) you are likely to find some SFH and some TH but mostly condos (which are totally a cashflow play as they appreciate last).

Quote from @Engelo Rumora: This is getting hot and I'm getting the popcorn lolTwo of the biggest turnkey providers getting into a bit of "argy bargy".Then again, a bit of "argy bargy" on the forum is good for business heheI've been sleeping for the last few years and back now looking for an argument heheI might need to piss off one of our investors lolJokes...Play nice guys and keep being great. 

You figure out the ARV by getting comps(properties recently sold in close proximity to the property you are considering, with similar features - Bedrooms/batrooms/square feet/etc. and sold within the last 30-180 days).

PPC is getting quite competitive and expensive so I don't know how long it will last.
