@Gary L WallmanI think you hit the nail on the head…gas prices, food prices, inflation in general.

Before finalizing your terms with a hard money lender, it's crucial to nail down a reliable budget.

I am looking at markets like San Antonio or Columbus at the moment.My questions are, should I look to really nail down my core 4 team members and go for a BRRRR deal utilizing hard money for the purchase or should I look for something more or less rent ready (and less risky) and use my own money and a conventional loan right off the bat?

Freeing to really nail down these concerns and act accordingly.

All makes sense but you sort of nailed the issue for me, which is personal uncertainty about life circumstances/not wanting to be locked in to a property that will take me ten years to gain its acquired value back if the market corrects and I need to get my cash out. 

They are young and in their 20's and you totally nailed it, I'm not their parent and I also want to make sure they are safe, secure, and enjoying the physical space.

If all you have in your tool box is a hammer everything will look like a nail !!

There will be 100s of nail holes where they attached the hardie board so I’m not sure how it will look refinished.

They will pick up the carpets but not the wood (with nails).
