I could have made smarter moves but my mistakes are (overall) still in the black.

It would be rare for a resident to move with such a small increase, and it sets an expectation for rent increases each year. 

From there, back calculate an offer price you would be comfortable moving forward with in this current market.

I've been self managing for years and have got a solid process down for finding the right resident. let me know if you need any further help! 

@Joshua SunThe appraisal is often the biggest wild card in the BRRRR process for SFR.

There is room to move the stairs to a different location but without having done one of these before, had a few questions I was hoping you all could chime in on.1) What amount should we budget to install a new set of stairs with the correct run and rise for each step? 

Maybe some alternatives, like buy a second one, move into that as your primary, then after a year or two 1031 the original one.   

I moved out March 30, 2024 and just recently received a letter from the landlord (54 days later) with deductions  and reasons of not returning. 

Also, will I continue to get the W-2 Tax benefits using the STR loophole if I move these properties into an LLC?

I sent an email, but it came back as undeliverable.Is this a red flag, and should I move on to other applicants?
