Quote from @Jimmy Lieu: Quote from @Andrew Syrios: The BRRRR strategy is tough these days (I even wrote an article about it that goes into more detail a little while back: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/beyond-brrrr-taking-advan...)In short, high interest rates as well as labor/material costs makes it hard to buy a property with debt and cash flow. 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

we can do it not rented but rate will be significantly higher. easier and more cost effective to rent it. unless the bridge money needs to be paid back asap or you need the funds back to buy more, then a cost analysis needs to be done. personally id get it rented at market rent or a touch below if time is a factor. 

After finding outlets and switches placed in bad spots and plumbers who wanted to argue about the use of Pex manifolds my subsequent projects I literally would pound all the electrical boxes and label what they were for and buy all the the materials myself. 

Investment Info:Townhouse buy & hold investment in Philadelphia.

Having said that I was contacted by 2 RE companies, RPM Sunshine city and NewWestern Tampa and I would be more inclined towards RPM since they gave me detailed information regarding market.Does anyone has any experience of buying with them?

With that being said, I also feel like I have A LOT to learn still, but eager to start the process of buying my first rental property!

Here’s why lease options are a game-changer:🔹 Low Risk, High Leverage – Instead of buying a property outright, you lease it with the option to purchase later.

If anyone has updates/chances please let us know  

I'm in the knowledge gathering phase - more time I spend here in BP and other online sources, more I am realising there is a lot more to this than simply buying something off of redfin and renting out
