We keep the finishes clean and modern but cost-effective — LVP flooring, shaker cabinets, and simple trim details that photograph and show really well.We’ve also built a few similar duplexes for turnkey clients, and they’ve had strong success with both rent-up and ongoing performance.For us, this model has proven to be:Scalable (our team can handle more new builds than rehabs)Predictable (fewer surprises than remodels)Attractive to tenants and investors alikeCurious if anyone else here is building new construction rentals — how are your numbers looking in your market?

Its the trickle down effect.. there are literally hundreds of folks working as a result of what we do building new projects and providing capital to flippers and those trying to build portfolios  we will build 20 to 25 homes a year and fund over 100 flips or BRRRS and thats just me one little company..

If you commingle the assets, you pierce the corporate veil and can effectively negate the benefits of having the LLC because if you're sued they can also now go after your assets too. 

and with prices and rates high there is effectively no cash flow right now on small residential so the return is typically very low and in my opinion, does not justify the purchase.i will only buy on BRRRR or seller finance, as I can't leave that much capital just sitting in a property.  

The Tracking Number is, in effect, the contractor’s license with the DOB.

The better you are/your team is on managing things through tenant requests and other small projects the more effective you get at doing the projects/handling tenants/flips.
