Some tenants do not take optimal care of washer/dryer.If you are adding the washer/dryer to help rent the units or maintain tenants, it may be worth it.  

Goal is stable occupancy fast, then optimize.

For now, the bond market is signaling cautious optimism—rates are elevated but not surging, and technicals suggest a balanced tone heading into the holiday period.Addison, Allen, Anna, Azle, Batch Springs, Bedford, Benbrook, Burleson, Cedar Hill, Celina, Cleburne, Colleyville, Coppell, Corinth, Crowley, DeSoto, Duncanville, Ennis, Euless, Farmers Branch, Fate, Flower Mound, Forest Hill, Forney, Glenn Heights, Grapevine, Greenville, Haltom City, Highland Village, Hurst, Keller, Lancaster, Little Elm, Mansfield, Midlothian, Mineral Wells, Murphy, North Richland Hills, Prosper, Red Oak, Rockwall, Rowlett, Royse City, Sachse, Saginaw, Seagoville, Southlake, Terrell, The Colony, Trophy Club, University Park, Watauga, Waxahachie, Weatherford, White Settlement, Wylie, Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, Garland, Grand Prairie, McKinney, Frisco, Mesquite, Carrollton, Denton, Richardson, Lewisville, or Arlington

For a first deal, I’d optimize for learning, control, and downside protection rather than peak returns, then pivot to cash-flow markets on the next purchase.

Luckily, I did not include this unit in my underwriting when purchasing, so the survival of this property is not contingent on this situation.Continuing to optimize for management of the building when I move out, like moving everyone to online rent payments or adding remote accessible security cameras.Exploring opportunities to expand my portfolio—I've begun my hunt for my next 3 to 4-unit building to house hack, ideally in Lake View, North Center, or Ravenswood.This year taught me that real estate investing isn’t easy, but it’s undoubtedly worth it.

There’s no perfect answer here, but there are cleaner ones depending on the season you’re in.One thing that often gets overlooked is that staying put and optimizing what you already have can be a solid short-term move.

Lower entry costs, strong cash flow, and portfolio scalability make it easier to optimize for tax benefits like depreciation and passive losses.

Since I don’t sell mentorship’s, advice, coaching, counseling, etc (nothing wrong with selling those services, I learned a good majority of what I utilized for success by my being  mentored by Jimmy Napier), I don’t have a “horse in the race” as to whether 100, 10, or 0 people are able to use this information.However, I do believe at least a FEW will have an “aha” moment, and perhaps rather than spend $40,000 with the kind of program that’s slick, optimized for the promoters profit, and put together by marketing companies in Vegas or Provo, will marshall their funds and obtain the education, experience, and knowledge that can lead to sustainable success.  

Optimizing for longevity and predictability has mattered far more than chasing growth for its own sake.
