Even if the BRRRR learning curve is steep and the first deal doesn't go perfectly, they still have cash flow from their turnkey investments as a little safety net.

Post a notice every other day that you will be coming by to check it the next day for safety and water leaks.You do have the legal right to do that as long as you post it and not show up unexpectedly.

You need to be patient due to this reality.

Be patient for the right tenant.

My advice would be to get really patient, don't feel like you have to bust out and make it big just because people are posting up on social media about killer deals, etc.

Being patient with finding a quality tenant is paramount, especially when you don't have a lot of units to offset one or two bad apples.

I doubt we could dip much lower than that salary so our hope was one-year reserves would create the safety net we need but we also don't want to be overly cautious.To the question of can we find enough flips, based on what we have been finding online in our research if we include the surrounding suburbs we should find more than enough.We have been looking at properties here in Portland and are considering doing a flip if we find the right deal.

The 3 things that may be going on for you that I can think of are: 1- November-December is a slow time for rentals so you need to be more patient (I just filled 2 vacancies, and it was slower, but not that bad for me.) 2- what are your basic qualifications?
