Re: your study in finding the emerging or declining areas of real estate, is that exercise something someone can do with their computer and internet too?

It sounds like you have some minor improvements that could be made (fencing), that would enhance the attraction of the home to a buyer. 

I will not need any income from the portfolio while it is growing.I wish to pick a strategy that uses leverage to (sanely) enhance growth.

I love the minimalist approach to staging...gets the job done enhancing the space without breaking the bank.

I think that is a pretty good option to have, but I hope I do not have to exercise it.  

Additionally, I use a software for tracking and managing my cleaners’ tasks, allowing me to monitor their progress and address any issues promptly.To further enhance the quality control process, I’ve instructed my cleaners to upload images while on-site, allowing me to visually see their work and identify any areas that require attention.Consistent cleanliness has not only translated into positive reviews but also increased booking rates, making my earnings higher!

All are paid for, all are solid properties, all are rented with students, no repairs needed, simply undertake enhancements projects.What are some ways to finance my next purchase? 

It would be interesting to see if one could get a rehab on a house with little money invested.Could emergency personal use these types of houses for exercises and training? 

As a new investor, struggling with creative financing, building and tenancy options was a good exercise. 

The interest yield on the transaction also can be enhanced.
