@Brady Boyer One thing I have done with my single family rentals is have an open house instead of single showings. I do accommodate some if they can’t make the open house.

@John Penola I agree with @Adam Williams. I took out a 401K loan to get started. While the money I took out wasn't making money in my 401K I turned the $50K loan into 2 properties using the BRRRR method. I now have $75K worth of equity, 2 cash flowing properties and I can pay the loan back with the refi. It may have risks but it worked great for me.

@Rachel Foster Thanks Rachel it does seem a lot safer to just do it when they are home.

@Joe Splitrock Thanks Joe. I will be the one going into the house and the tenants are ok with that so I think I’m good. Good tip to discuss this during the lease signing.

@Anthony Wick Thanks Anthony! Seems to be the common answer. I’m going to go that route.
