@George SuarezThe market has changed in the last 2 years because of the raise in interest rates. 

This is how I got started in real estate while in engineering school.

The large scale BRRR can be tricky, but having a JV from the start will help.My clients down in GA are doing well with a BRRR centered strategy, but focused on one, or both of these things to cash flow quickly:1) 2-4 unit properties2) Section 8In most lending circles, your 2-4 units are going to be classified in the same category as a SFH, so to rehab a hand full of those, you don't take the same kind of rate hit as the 5+ unit properties, but you also don't have the same kind of "experience" issues as you do with larger developments.

I'm a good 20 years from retirement, but I'm using this strategy right now, and then if rates come down at some point and I can do a cash out and maintain cashflow I'll consider it.

Pros I can think of: - higher rent rates (renting by the room) - saving cost and time on upgrade - easier advertising Cons I can think of: - high turnovers  - limited screening - possible wear and tear  

Do you mind sharing the name of your property management company and a list of their fee's (monthly fee, repair rates, cost to find tenants, lease renewal, etc.)?

These factors can impact the desirability of a property to potential renters or buyers.Crime RatesThe crime rates in a particular location can impact the safety and desirability of a property.

Would you leave it as a floating rate, hoping the rate goes down?

A cash out refinance to buy more property would put a substantial dent in cash flow with current interest rates.

Loan rate/terms get complex once you hit that 5+ unit property, so you'll ideally want to work with someone who can help on both sides of your plan.I'd also consider MTR as an option for a $70K property.
