That is to say that you want to know that you can improve the value of the property by your own efforts and not simply rely on the market to improve to increase your asset value.

I'm not a rehabber and haven't factored in the time, effort or holding costs of that.  

Over the past year and a half, I have completed 24 such deals (of which 23 are in FL).I am here (in this forum), I am known by the escrow companies I've done continuous business with, and I have always been here for investors that take the time and effort to seek me out or ask around.

I am actively working with a REI mentor on a PT basis, on my "off" hours, but I need to jump into something FT again...soon...and would really like to align my FT efforts with my  REI goals, and find a way to make a FT living as a newbie with a local REI company.  

Let's say you make mistakes that end up costing you 20% of your property value - both losses are painful, but it will be a lot easier to recover from 1 unit that multiplying it by 20.Also what if you decide the effort is isn't worth the return, unloading the property will be more effort/costly on the bigger property.While you miss out on big upside on a smaller scale, when do you think, you would be more likely to very successful on your very first property or maybe your 3rd or 4th.

If a deal comes through your new efforts, take that down the other path. 

The BRRRR strat should always outperform a A+ turnkey purchase, but you also have to consider the opportunity costs of your effort and time. 

They want a quick buck with little effort.

(The buyer made an offer to us right after the open house, so the buyer agent didn't really make too much effort.)Any feedback or suggstions will be highly appreciated.Thank you,Grace

You may have to repeat your efforts to find a tenant that does meet all your criteria for tenant selection.
