We should connect and share info.

Hi BPers...I've previously shared my journey of starting my first RAL home and expanding to own or manage 13 RAL homes.

Mind sharing some contact info? 

But it will help you understand if you like this kind of investing and enjoy the underwriting and stuff.Feel free to DM and I'd be happy to share some more opinions and experiences

They also assume the rent-by-room option is the best way to go because they can get multiple nurses to share a home so they want to buy a larger home, thinking they'll rent out all of the rooms and make more money.

Those that respond “$0” or something ridiculous, you can request income documentation from them to justify.Don’t be afraid to share with them how much your property taxes & Insurance increased and that YOU cannot afford to absorb them.ALWAYS get an increase or something of value annually or tenants will start thinking they should never have an increase, making future increases that much more difficult to negotiate.

Have any tips or pitfalls to share?

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

I passed both on my first try (our state has a 40% pass rate) and I'm happy to share the links to the youtube resources I used to study.

If you're willing to share the address (or general location), I can provide further insights.
