As a licensed agent in Boston, I work with investors, and I've noticed we all seem to have different approaches to crunching the numbers.Some clients come in with elaborate spreadsheets, others use apps, and some just do quick mental math (which honestly makes me nervous when we're talking six-figure decisions).

Since the kitchen’s already in good shape, small updates can really boost appeal and help you rent at a premium in Kenosha.

Nothing you do is likely to change their behavior because they have a "tenant mentality"!

With that 2.7% rate, holding and renting could offer excellent long-term returns, especially with local development boosting value.

Shortly after buying there were several sales nearby that boosted that ARV higher than I could imagine.

I am sure you will get a lot of the same answers, but if you can do a house hack and utilize a renovation loan, that's a golden nugget that will quickly give you a boost in your net worth and experience bank!

A lot of these folks dont want to share their own distuation out in public, so it may be a bit less "social" imo. but creating content around you buy houses / seller reviews and explainng the process at the very minimum will add a huge credbiliity boost to your website and will warm you a lot of seller leads before you ever speak to them!

Why would anyone buy real estate at a 5.5 cap is beyond me unless they can boost the value. 

I too deal with you a rich landlord mentality.

@Brian MalavskyThat’s a smart move—many landlords are shifting toward third-party damage protection as it reduces friction for tenants and can boost bookings.
