I have been reading/researching BP for a few months (watching webinars, reading posts), I seem to be most interested in Multi family or BRRRR's and then building bigger (commercial stuff).
Our children are leaving home so we are going to sell our 4000 sq. ft. home and use that cash to finance a property.
We would keep and rent this house out BUT, we have a pool surrounded by Huge hackberry trees and 3 months out of the year, we are cleaning pool traps 6 times a day. No renter would take care of the pool like that and it would end up being a maintenance nightmare!!!

Welcome to BP and we had a house with a pool that we rented out (corp relo). Much like the lawn service, I sourced out the pool cleaning and maintenance (hate to have the pump burn out) AND I added them into the rent as part of the perk of living in the house. Then if the lawn or pool had a problem (it looked green) or need to be cleaned, I gave the tenants the direct number of the service company to call on their own. Worked with no glitches. But, you also have a BIG house. I would sell it too. Rather rent out 2 / 2000 sq ft houses than 1 / 4000 sq ft house.

Well, welcome to the group. I am that poor cousin down south of you in Hillsboro. If you get a group together and let me know when they meet, I would consider traveling to visit the group. I am always interested in sharing ideas and gathering contacts. You never know when you need a set of ears to bounce something off of, or maybe a partner or JV. Good luck, If you are in heading south on 35, stop in Hillsboro, I usually good for a cup of coffee.
