@Alex Ferraro
Keep me in mind for any tree related questions or concerns you may have. My day job has been 15 years as an arborist. I’m an ops manager for a tree company out of the western burbs however we service all areas of Chicagoland.
@John Warren I just had a crew in Brookfield yesterday doing some crane work, let me know if I can ever help, always interested in giving back to this community.
@Jonathan Klemm
Do you guys handle ground maintenance only? If you’re looking for another avenue for tree related issues feel free to reach out.

I recently switched companies and pay structure to "truck-hack" haha I coined that. Sold my $1200/month truck payment for a company truck from where I work. Improvements to my DTI from lack of vehicle and improvements to base pay salary.

@Matthew Irish-Jones
Great post, I agree with you on many of those statements. I think the push is because so many people have excuses and reasons why they can’t invest mostly being money and lack of patience. I agree it’s powerful strategy but my question is why the push to have a perfect brrrr with infinite returns? On your first one? Good luck not loosing money.
I'm currently in rehab on my first one, bought it knowing the numbers worked with current rent tenants as is was 1.07% rtp ratio, it would have worked as a brrrr or I could have flipped it. I'm aiming to refinance out 30-40k leaving 20-30 of my own into it. Second rental first brrrr and I have made a tremendous amount of rookie mistakes even after reading dozens of books podcasts all of it. But, I had contingencies, I went into it with multiple exit strategies and I went into it with a position of financial strength so we'll see how it all unfolds. Currently general contractor is on day 4 past deadline, but it's all my money/LOC's on the line no hml or pml to worry about.
Great post man!

@Stephen Schoon
I had a similar situation last fall when I bought a sfr, I didn’t even do my normal background check. I asked for bank statements of previous owner to see deposit of rents. If it’s on time while in a eviction moratorium? I thought that was solid enough and they had been in the house for 5 years. House sounds similar just different issues.
Currently they’re still there and I’m still collecting rent while rehabbing portions. They will have to be displaced for some plumbing work but I was upfront with them on this and offered to put them in a hotel for the three days two nights. Once rehab is completed about 22k projection I should be sitting at about a 12% return on the increase of rents if I decide to cut them a deal to stay again. (Which I will do) rent will go from 1700 to 1875, if I relist ill shoot for 1900-2000. But the turnover cost and vacancy is not worth the extra 125-150$ to me. Hope this helps.
