With a detailed rehab plan and expert contractor oversight, we brought the home to life and positioned it perfectly for resale.

So again not perfect. 

@Shawn Rose In a perfect world tenants would give proper notice and then cooperate with access for evaluation and any subsequent needed repairs, to keep vacancy to a minimum.The challenge is, what's in it for the current tenant?

I can show you a website where $8.99 can get you a perfectly good drivers lisence and another site where you can by a complete identity for between $50-$400.

I told my wife:  "There’s not a chance in hell that house sells at that price, even in perfect condition."

Using language like “perfect for a spontaneous escape” or “local getaway without the long drive” in your title and description can help attract nearby guests.

These markets offer solid returns, professional management, and less stress-perfect if you're not looking to be a hands-on landlord.You're absolutely right-your equity could be working much harder for you.

Why would any rational lender take significantly more risk for the same or lower returns than a bank would get with a fully qualified W2 borrower with a perfect credit score and documented DTI?

Not every decision has to make perfect financial sense.

Perfect for when you're not sure how much the next deal will bleed you, or if you're spreading out a reno.
