Has anyone had success with cash for keys? How much did you have to offer?

@Scott Trench We currently have just north of 150 properties, but fully believe we are capable of doubling in size and beyond. In order to offer the same great service we do now, however, we have to simplify. We handle everything from the rehab to tenant turnover and everything in between and use over 13 software systems to accomplish all tasks. It is a lot. What worked for us in the past may not work for us moving forward.

Just sent a connection request for Chris! Thank you! Excited to continue learning and growing with this BP community.

We are a small team.  3 Admin, 2 property managers, Maintenance Manager, and myself in Biz development. Over the past 5 years, certain softwares have been introduced because of past pain points and we now find ourselves working with too many software systems/tools. We all feel it may be time to re-evaluate, condense, simplify....

That being said, if you are managing 300+ properties as a company, would you be willing to share what your "tool belt" looks like? It may even warrant a phone call. I would love any thoughts you can offer!

How many houses will it take to get to financial freedom? How did you come up with your goal? What assumptions did you use?

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff:

2 different properties I used to have, one a LTR, one a flip, had iron bracelets attached to the walls. Must be a thing.

In one case the neighbors told me what the one use was, I never found out about the other house.....probably didn't want to....

Maybe I just need to get out more...........


 No way! They BOTH had iron bracelets?? What are the odds!

Quote from @Steve K.:

@Maranda Tucker pros: you can charge more rent. Cons: more management intensive and higher turnover. From your perspective as a PM, you could potentially make more by charging tenant placement fees for each individual tenant and your monthly percentage will be higher due to higher gross rent, but you’ll probably also deal with more questions, issues, drama, etc.


 Dealing with more tenants and drama, on top of managing/reeducating owners on expectations as well... Not sure we would make enough for the hassle!
