Is my $10,000 set aside for repairs, painting, seeding lawn, fixing doors, etc a good reason for me increasing the rent?

Though I cannot remember the exact source of this quote, I know it went a little something like this : "to think man is alone in the universe is to think that of a whole field of seed, only one will grow"

If BRRRR isn't your thing, then perhaps look to put your money into syndication or offering loans/seed money. 

I never made this post like “Im dropping out today to peruse realest because school sucks and I’m going to be rich” I simply posed a question because I was curious and for other people who had that seem seed planted in their head.

I gutted the cabinets in my second propertyand learned a lot from these 2 properties.1) Particle Board / MDF has no business whatsoever being anywhere near water because it soaks up water like a sponge and expands when doing so.

I’m Louis, and have been lurking around BP for a while trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible.

What you are saying is once you have raised the value of the "seed" property to your example of $125k, you then proceed to refinance the property to get some of the equity out of them home for a down payment on another residence, after doing that you sell the property which allows you to take all earnings (after first mortgage is paid) and roll that over to either one or 2 new (and hopefully more) equity based properties?
