Here’s how I structured those deals:I’d find the property, run the numbers, and pitch it to my private investor.

However, given the current home prices and mortgage rates in areas like Natick and Framingham, I’m uncertain if rental income will cover costs like PMI or if these areas offer good potential for appreciation and equity growth.Any suggestions on areas that meet the 1% rent rule or have strong appreciation potential would be greatly appreciated!

Some of them are in an LLC, managed by a property manager.

But my background and experience is in Business Development, and Marketing Strategy in close integration with sales, so I figure I at least have some transferable skills that'll allow me to make the most out of property as an asset class.

Purchase price: $179,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Lived in the property for 1 year.Knocked down living room wall, replaced Hvac, floors and gutted and remodeled the kitchen, attic insulation, converted the living room and the dining area into rooms.

Its a 2-unit property on Airbnb. 

The goal is to BRRRR 1-2 more properties with creative financing by December 2025, 15 months with little to no out of pocket.

Opportunities in real property investment need to be evaluated individually on their own merits.  

Short term rental manager aka co-hosting fees are usually 20-30%, mid-term 17-25%, and long term property management fees are 8-10%. 

Virtually every property we purchase has a value add and virtually all the value adds have been the boring rehab.
