So making $300k, of course someone probably can say they did it but its not going to be the norm, especially for someone with little to no experience.

Of course, there are plenty of calculators out there, some are good as well, but since the question is about Dealcheck, I can say that is a great one. 

We also do a property orientation and show them how to operate the house, change filters and batteries, turn off water main - and of course the mystery of GFCI outlets

Of course the risks are there that the owner will not renew the lease and start doing it themselves if you are successful.

That is the best case scenario, of course sometimes you get lied to and stalled, that's why it is important to always emply a double strategy and stay a step ahead.

While many gurus glorify the strategies they’re selling through courses or books, methods like BRRRR aren’t easy and can put you in a tough financial spot if you’re not careful.

Has anyone took the training/mentorship?

The project was budget-conscious but impactful, ensuring the unit is ready for future renters.Reflecting on 2024: Wins, Challenges, and Lessons LearnedLooking back, my first year as a landlord was a crash course in property management.

Because I got trained and knew that it was just a matter of time I'd find a deal.

It also has the benefit of being local which is great training wheels as you learn how to be a killer host.Now assuming that you mostly want a cool property to stay in sometimes near water and don't want to spend a ton of time managing I really like the outer banks in NC.
