Start with a tiny win you can control: pick one neighborhood, one property type, and one rehab level you’ll touch, then run noise-to-numbers on 20 deals and make 2–3 offers this week.

Hi All,I would like to avoid providing keys to the tenants and just have them setup and control the codes for access.

Smaller projects or cosmetic flips are one way to control costs but full blown renos are still viable as long as you buy right and control what you put into it (do not over improve).

In fact, pre-leasing velocity in a lot of Tier-2 and Tier-3 university markets continues to outperform expectations.Here’s what this means for investors:Student housing has proven far more recession-resistant than most realize.Demand is built-in - students keep enrolling, and they need somewhere to live.The operational complexity is higher, but so are the returns if managed well.For me, this reinforces a big shift we’re betting on at Gold Crest Holdings:When you understand your tenant base and control execution, location near strong universities becomes an incredible defensive play.Curious how others on BP are viewing this trend. 

They auto-match receipts, categorize expenses in real time, built-in approval flows and spend controls and integrate directly with accounting tools like QuickBooks, Xero...

A common setup is to hold your rental properties in an LLC for liability and organizational purposes, then have a family trust own that LLC so the assets and income can easily transfer to your kids later without probate and with more control over taxes.

I think the most important thing you can do is work to lower/control your costs.

That’s where you can leave money on the table.If your goal is to build long-term wealth and save on taxes, strategies like BRRRR or small multifamily often give you more control.

Hey all,I’m toying with an idea and wanted to get some real feedback from people actually in the trenches.I know most of us don’t want/need a full property manager (8–12% of rent is steep, and a lot of us still want to keep control).

I’m staying active but stricter: tighten the buy box to durable B/C neighborhoods, underwrite to in-place income first, and only chase value I can control like better management, lease-ups, and light turns.
