Over the last 2 weeks there hasn't been a property that has numbers even close to good enough to BRRRR or Flip.

The quality of renovation was average and just good enough to get it rented out as quickly as possible.

Rent-to-own is great because it mean the person selling the house can charge more and not have to pay for a property manager, plus the buyer can get a home before they have a good enough credit score and/or the money for a down payment. 

But if the manager is at least good enough that they care about their long-term reputation (and also trying to get you to be an investor in future deals)...then this might help.If they are a bad one (or a good one and unable to change), then this is unlikely to make any difference.Remotely you can also do things like doing Google maps drive-bys, etc.

I have a good enough income that I don't NEED to sell it for money right now, and even with a property tax bill close to $15k, I believe that beachside property in Carlsbad is a great asset (it's not like they can just make more of it).

@Evelyn CastilloHard money loans are are short term interest only loans and are made for short term now you can use them and the same lender can give you a long term loan as a refinance around 7% and if you find a good enough deal you could still cashflow.

There isn't good enough reason to purchase a home for higher than value when there are other homes in the US that will provide both positive cash flow and equity.

imagine you’ve decided to invest in company bonds:        You see Coke, Pepsi, Tesla, Apple are all paying 5-7% but that’s not good enough.

And that's good enough.

Thats good enough if you have a couple HCVs.
