I left my corporate job last year to stay home with my daughter and focus on our real estate business.

One advantage is that it's easy to manage because it's close to your primary home.

@Chris Marette, take this with a grain of salt, because the only times I appealed appraisals were before COVID.In my experience, if you stay with the same lender and you get a second appraisal, the best I got was an average of the two appraisals.  

BPCON is a GREAT place to network, find accountability partners, learn from tons of speakers, meet your favorite podcast hosts and authors, and even close deals while you're there (it wouldn't be a first!) 

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I recently closed on a duplex near Florida A&M University in Tallahassee on March 31st.

This approach allowed us to proceed quickly and efficiently, ensuring the project stayed on track.

I stay rented with maybe 9 to 10 cleanings/ per month.

We just closed on a duplex in Vero that was only $197K 15% down at 7.375% $1535.54 a month Both doors bring in $2850 a month so for $197K you can have a cash flow of over $1300 a month No HOA fee and renters mow the lawn.

I'm selling a townhome in Houston, TX and we are 2 days away from closing.  

I prefer the latter because you'll have the opportunity to spruce up the property and get market rent from a tenant you screened and selected.If you choose to raise rent on the existing tenant, I recommend notifying them to see if they want to stay.
