Take advantage of long term investment benefits - stomach the dips/rises & retire by 60, have a maid do my laundry/clean my house/cook my food, live in an area with nice weather, workout every day, ride motorcycles, drive sports cars, do track days, visit Vegas whenever I want.I plan to do this with income properties - buy a duplex, 3-4 unit, and into the bigger (15-20 unit) closer to retirement.Long Beach investors - hit me up!

It's great to hear what successful investors have done and their different methods.

@Matt Helpingstine  I use a repair company called Expert Pools and a pool service for chemicals and cleaning called Americana pools. 

Craigslist and also used appliance dealers usually provide clean appliances and 90 day warranty for about 4 times cheaper than new

My husband has siblings and we want to try to keep it very clean cut.  

In cases like this, most metro areas have 1-3 list providers that publish data and a very clean format. 

I just dont know the pros and cons, after pulling the cash out of buying a property fully with cash and then refinancing within 6 month repeat repeat aka 'BRRR method'.

I am interested in working with someone familiar with BP's methods and interested in working with someone wanting to acquire as many units as possible.

Also, the area around the damage looks relatively clean as opposed to the exterior wall above the window... is there water staining and/or mold there, or does the wall just need a good cleaning?

The work will be just some painting, carpet cleaning, fixing doors and doing some other touch up when seller move out of the house.
