With repair costs rising and turnover times increasing, many are adjusting recommended reserves.Common answers I’m hearing:• $2,000–$3,000 per unit for single-family• 1–2 months of rent for multifamily• Additional reserves for older propertiesSome investors are also using short-term funding to cover heavier turnovers or larger repairs instead of draining reserves.Curious what property managers and self-managing landlords here recommend — what’s your reserve target per door in last quarter of 2025?

The issue is the bank (seller)  has expressly forbidden me from accessing the property until deed is transferred.

I don’t know ANYTHING about this property or offering; for all I know it could be the greatest deal since sliced bread.  

Buying with private money and increasing the value by rehabbing and renting the property then BRRRR does a few things.  

I own the property. 

A good friend of mine started a property maintenance company in Brooklyn, NY (super competitive market) and grew his database by showing up to development sites, following investors and developers on social media, introducing himself to local property owners, posting his day to day on Instagram, and following up with his database regularly.I also agree with everything @David Peschio and @Drew Sygit suggested here!

If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class C or D property - disaster!

I haven't lived in it for years, so it's now an investment property. 

They have people invested in individual properties, especially students. 

I have also looped in a lot of property managers and owners.
