Now my total cashflow is $3500/month and I picked up 3 houses basically for free, not costing me any money out of pocket.

@Jose AlmonteAdd up all your annual expenses and then determine your total monthly expenses.

I would look for a multi-plex to buy - up to 4 units would qualify.

Today, I wanted to chat about something that's been a major topic of discussion in our industry—the recent NAR settlement and its potential impacts on real estate agents.For those who might not be fully up to speed, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently reached a proposed settlement agreement related to broker commissions.

We've received a few quotes, but most are over $30k per unit.I've seen several posts on Facebook and Instagram BRRRR groups that do medium rehab for $8k-$14k per unit for both labor and material costs.

I focus on Columbus, Ohio, which has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations, driving up property prices and job opportunities.

So - fix it up, and then refinance.What am I missing? 

Hey there @Javian Moorman - Did you ever end up finding a quality and cost-effective countertop contractor in Chicago?

Quote from @Jason Solley: Or better yet a Buildium consultant that maybe could streamline my inefficiencies.Hey Jason, we were in a similar situation as you and ended up using AppFolio for all of our property management EXCEPT for finance/expense tracking.  

It does seem that rates are going down, and at some point like you say we will end up refinancing to a perhaps somewhat larger rate on a 1st position mortgage to consolidate.
