ALL the mortgage REITs utilize VERY DANGEROUS amounts of leverage (8 X or more their equity) to “gig” yield to investors.  

Unless they hold a very long time, they are going to lose money.In single family, focusing on cap rate is dangerous and dumb.

It helps set expectations and gives them a sense of control over the process.Also, I try to group the loudest or messiest tasks into fewer days (even if those days are longer), so the disruption feels more “contained” instead of drawn out.Curious to hear if anyone has tried offering tenants a say in the renovation schedule.

-Low Maintenance: Fewer repairs mean fewer headaches and more predictable cash flow.

@Rodolfo Poeaccording to this article, Detroit safer, and so may be a better place to invest, than the most dangerous city in America - Memphis!

They’re sturdy but often need updates to plumbing, electrical, or roofing, so factor that into your reno budget.Build types; brick homes tend to be more durable with fewer long-term exterior issues, but frame homes are common and generally easier/cheaper to repair.Target areas; west side and certain pockets of the East Side are popular for BRRRR strategies, but investor-friendly zip codes vary based on your renovation budget and tenant class preferences.

No wonder fewer buyers feel confident making a big move. 👉 Weaker labor data gives the Fed more room to cut interest rates.

People or the property are in immediate danger of being injured or damaged.

Quote from @Elealeh Fulmaran: Given your skills and equity, I’d suggest keeping it simple and profitable:BRRRR-lite on SFRs/duplexes — focus on quick, clean rehabs, stabilize, DSCR refi, and repeat.If you prefer fewer tenants — consider small neighborhood retail or industrial with sticky local businesses.Next step: pick one lane, define a clear buy box, and line up financing (HELOC for speed, DSCR for takeout).

Many banks see RV parks as hospitality businesses rather than real estate, which means fewer options for traditional financing.
