This will be my 5th BPCON, it's always a huge ROI each year I've attended.I've directly gotten deals, improved financing options, operational efficiencies, industry insights and so many other benefits. 

It allows investors to move decisively, secure properties, and reposition them efficiently.

bought a house for 250k in 2020, did substantial renovations including adding full bath from scratch, moving/replacing a 1920s staircase, new flooring, energy efficiency, etc.  

Management efficiency starts to matter a lot more; small tweaks in expenses, vacancy, and turns move the needle on value.Off-market is still powerful, but you’ll also start dealing with more sophisticated sellers and brokers who expect you to speak the multifamily language.If you’re serious about Georgia/Tennessee this year, I’d be happy to walk you through:How I’d underwrite your first 5–20 unit (what I’d stress-test, what I’d walk away from).What realistic lending and down payment structures look like at your stage.What to think through on management (in-house vs third-party, systems, and team) so the building doesn’t become a second job.Shoot me a DM, and we can hop on a quick call or screen-share an actual deal you’re looking at.

Force interpretation, not descriptionAdd this line:“Do not just summarize — explain what each metric implies about efficiency, risk, and management quality.”3.

My focus is on operational efficiency — maintenance coordination, inspections, tenant communication, vendor oversight, and owner reporting.I also manage operations for 30+ short-term rental (Airbnb) properties, supported by a full offsite team that provides 24/7 guest communication and issue resolution.

In many markets, appraisers still lean heavily on bedroom functionality and square footage when comparing comps, so keeping the bedroom feeling spacious can sometimes help with resale confidence.If it were me on a 1,360 sqft flip, I'd usually lean toward larger bedroom + efficient but nice bathroom.

Do what you've done for others, for yourself and hire the rest accordingly (but efficiently).Start building your team (as needed) and get started.

I focus on sourcing and underwriting on & off market opportunities, and we collaborate locally to execute efficiently.

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.
