So fraudulently removed our deed of trust and put another one on it and took the money..

Seems like it could be something to do that could make the cashflow work more.Reason I ask is as I put proformas to see if buying a rental is better than investing in the market if I had the same cash available to start and additional cash flow each month (or negative)Thanks

@Sage Sager-Romanoa lot of this is going to depend on the work and effort you are able to put in.BRRRR is very difficult and very labor intensive.can you buy something in Texas now and keep renting in LV? 

Sounds like the other two are the ones putting skin in the game and you're the one that brings them the deal...?

I don’t recommend putting a time limit on when to buy, just evaluate each property and buy when the numbers make sense.

We have had great success putting tenants on 2 year terms after the first year.

If you'd rather not deal with tenant calls or maintenance issues, a manager might be worth the cost.You've put some great thought into your plan.

As @Nicholas L. always so brilliantly puts it, a house hack is the easiest way to accumulate properties for the lowest out-of-pocket.Buy a 4-5br home, rent each room, save that tenant-paid rent and buy again in a year or two.

Multiple times I was called over to fix doors that had been pulled off the hinges, Outlet covers that had been pulled off and broken, towel rods and toilet paper holders pulled off of walls, stuff put down the drains causing back ups.

I'm a True Believer that if you put in the work you will be successful and it sounds like you have.For my company, our tating is 4.9 overall.
