what kind of earnest money did you put on the table?  

My adult children have 9 properties now ~ they advise me to buy a few rentals to provide eventual income supplementation after I retire. ( Who wants to be the retiree wiping tables at McDonald's ?

You’re absolutely right, skipping the protest is like leaving money on the table every year.

My name is Marie, and I’m new to real estate but I bring many years of customer service experience to the table.

You should make $3 to $4mm profit.You will have to bring about $2mm to the table for the total deal. 

After long discussions my husband want to turn our current secondary into a rental so for now that is off the table and will only focus on current primary to new primary.

I think I'm leaving money on the table.

Would love to hear what you’re seeing on your side of the table. 

You bring a lot to the table as an agent who will grow and bring a lot of money to your team eventually.

Everyone talks about the BRRRR method like it’s a formula — Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.But after working with a lot of investors, I’ve noticed one thing that often gets overlooked:The “tax” side of BRRRR.Most people focus on the deal numbers — the purchase price, the ARV, the refinance rate — but forget that how you structure and record those costs can make a huge difference down the line.For example:Tracking your rehab costs separately helps you depreciate correctly later.Timing your refinance can change when interest expenses become deductible.And keeping good records on improvements vs. repairs can save you thousands when you sell or do a cash-out refi.The BRRRR method is powerful because it lets you build equity fast — but if your books aren’t clean, you’ll end up leaving money on the table when tax season comes around.The investors who scale fastest aren’t just great at finding deals — they’re great at documenting them.Curious — how do you track your rehab and refinance expenses during a BRRRR project?
