@Matt Lee "Is it smarter to spend a couple of years as an agent to gain capital and knowledge"?

The best realtors don’t spend all day cold calling cuz it wears you out and don’t get you many deals most times. instead they go after internet leads because people online are already looking to buy or sell so the convo starts way warmer. you don't gotta beg someone to talk with you because they already RAISED THEIR HAND. once you got your system set up the leads just keep comin in while you focus on closing deals and making appointments only with those who have the best possible chance of doing business with you.

Spending the time and taking the time and energy upfront to screen really well, meet and interview the tenants is absolutely a key to having the best chance as a "smooth" property in my experience.as a side note on "issues or problems" in general....I feel like the problems we think we will have as landlords or owners never seem to be the actual issues that come up, you can plan and prep and preventative maintenance to the cows come home, but something will come up!  

I am happy to spend some time with you. 

I just came in as an LP on a 107-unit senior living community in the south suburbs of IL, and I also volunteer with Hospice patients (spend a fair amount of time in ALFs + nursing homes, which I do NOT like very much but realize they are necessary).

.👉 Bottom line: A softer labor market supports falling mortgage rates — but slower hiring could also weigh on consumer spending later in the year.🏡 Home Price Growth Slows, But Demand ReboundsHome prices continued rising modestly — up 1.7% year-over-year per Case-Shiller — though growth is clearly cooling.

Use the power of "lingering", meaning let them know you are interested, spend time with them and then leave if you can't get the numbers you want, and say you'll be in touch. 

It depends on how that $30,000 is classified and how it will impact your sales price.Hopefully if you put in $30,000 in renovaitons that you are getting atleast $30,000 back in sales price(I.E. if the property was going to sell for $500,000 before the rehab / renovations that it sells for atleast $530,000).Therefore, you likely need to spend money on the replacement property(Sales price minus expenses).Now the question that will dictate the basis of the new property is how the original $30,000 is treated for tax purposes.Is it a repair that is currently expensed or is $30,000 that is considered an improvement and capitalized?

If you're trying to maximize cashflow you'd better plan to spend six figures on theming and be creative with it.If you want you can give me a call and I'm happy to share my numbers on utilities etc.
