@Joe Splitrock just nailed this 100% @Laura Guy, if you're trying to improve the perception of landlords/housing providers/whatever, why not focus on starting a media campaign or a movement for good?   

Make sure you have reserves and try to get private lending so you keep reserves on the side and don’t exhaust your liquid funds.I bought my first BRRRR deal in Feb 2020, days before the covid lockdown, had an extremely difficult time finding subcontractors at anything but ridiculous prices, materials kept climbing in price, the rehab ended up taking months longer and costing $30k over budget.Let me tell you I was chewing off my nails the whole darn time, wondering if we’d be plunged into a recession and if I’d lose everything…Somehow, I still came out on top with the refinance topping my all-in costs by $35 - $40k and now have had rockstar tenants in there for almost 10 months.

Being dismissive of fair warnings and good advice from reliable sources is a mistake in my opinion.Jay hit the nail on the head.

Someone put a nail or screw into a water pipe in the wall without knowing it.

Do business in Washington at your own risk.Yes, wholesaling can be done but you have to follow the "rules" which is kind of like nailing jello to the wall. 

It is just a bit of polish on a good looking place.

She says clean it up a little, use what I have to polish, and sell for $55K now or do like a $30K cosmetic rehab with exterior paint and she will GET me $150K, no less than $130K...

I can tell you the deck of the boat is worth more than the flooring in a condo and deck shoes or tennis shoes really should be worn for safety reasons.I've never seen a floor that couldn't be cleaned and where scuff marks from shoes couldn't be polished out, didn't even know they made flooring that didn't hold up to shoes.As a Realtor do you take your shoes off showing properties?

It amazes me that people will fight tooth-and-nail against health care reform because it's socialistic and anti-doctor, but completely ignore the fact that our educational system has been exactly that way for 100 years...

@Thierry Van Roy I am interested in the Polish market myself, I am here boots on the ground and have some experience.
