@Kimberly Marshall Hey Kimberly my goal is to achieve financial freedom quickly ideally using the BRRRR model which I estimate to be around 20 units to live off the cash flow, although I don’t want to stop there.

Your offer is always a balancing act of indicating to the seller what you are willing and able to do in order to perform, and protecting your earnest money.

In my particular market, the active listings have gone from 504 at the lowest point in the summer to around 1400 now so it's getting closer to a balanced market but still about 2500 listings short.

Due to the DoD hiring over 80% of the local workforce and the slow to no appreciation, I sold that property and shifted my focus to a market that would appreciate and help me achieve my FI goals. 

If everyone has carpet and vinyl flooring, then a laminate wood upgrade could provide that finishing touch that is better than the others without a major price increase to you.This all becomes a happy balance between design and budget and that takes experience.

Hey Jeremiah, I lean towards selling the property because that's exactly what I did when I first started getting serious about investing and that first sale put me in a great position I couldn't have achieved otherwise.  

The question is more about what to do on a daily basis to achieve the goals more effectively. 

Looking to scale into the multifamily arena, I began investigating services that offer opportunities to join their community and "be coached" to achieve this task more effectively.Most of these services charge upwards of $20k-$40k. 

If you have more of a balance on your credit cards then you should pay them down as well.

Balance on it is about $160k.
