Luckily my husband has his own contracting business so he does all the labor for free but that’s not the point!

Feel free to reach out if you need help. 

I don't know about you, but in 30 years I'd rather be sitting on a million-dollar asset that I own free and clear (because someone else paid it off for me) that is generating multiple, multiple times the rent I was collecting when I first acquired it and in which I can fill a vacancy with a qualified tenant within two weeks because the area is so desirable that it can't keep up with housing demand than on some boondocks asset that I only purchased because it was the cheapest thing around and "cash flowed" $200 per month on paper but barely appreciated over the years and whose rent appreciation has marginally kept up with inflation and takes me three months to fill a vacancy with a "qualified" tenant who even then might get behind on rent because his hours were cut at the gas station 30 miles away (true story; my tenant worked at a gas station in Boron--only job he could find).Personally, I'm keeping my 4-unit in Santa Clarita and investing in development deals and notes until an incredible off-market deal lands in my lap (keep dreaming, Logan) or the SoCal market cools.  

I came on here looking for a good website to use to send direct mail, but Jerry Norton (Check him out on youtube he's a wealth of information on wholesaling) last year released PropWire which is a free platform to pull owner information.

Feel free to message me if you need any guidance as I have an STR on the coast of NH.

I'm going to assume that their lease is either up or month-to-month and you have the legal right to raise rent now.I'd let the tenant know that they don't need to pay the increased rent and are free to move out.

I'd love to connect, ask questions, and hear recommendations of areas to invest in and professionals to work with.Please feel free to send a DM.Thanks and God Bless!

There are so many so be sure to filter by your location. 4) Review Dave Meyer’s The State of Real Estate Investing Report 2024 (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!)

Much of your “income” will come from appreciation, cash flow won’t make you free.

I don't know the cost of things in your area but you would get the proceeds of the sale tax free from federal income tax from the primary residence exclusion.
