Quote from @Bryce Powers: Hello,I work several jobs in Florida and also own a rental property here.

Hi everyone, my name is Henry and I’m a property manager with Evergreen Property Management based in Stockton.I currently manage properties across San Joaquin, Sacramento, Yolo, and Placer counties and am expanding into Stanislaus County and the East Bay (Livermore & Pleasanton)My focus is helping owners improve cash flow through strong tenant screening, clean operations, and stress free management.Looking forward to connecting with local investors, agents, and professionals here on BiggerPockets. 

So many real estate books are just investors talking about how great they are.

I have a STR beach property that has been successful and looking for something more passive.

Might not have sold in original auction because there was too much inventory going through and the local investors that wanted real estate already bought everything they wanted.

The goal is simple:• Acquire the property creatively• Add value quickly (rehab, rent stabilization, adding a unit, etc.)• Refinance into a low-rate, long-term conventional loan once the value and income justify itI’ve done similar structures on rentals where we:Bought with seller financing or private moneyCleaned it up, stabilized it, or increased the rentRefi’d into a 30-year conventional once the appraisal supported itThe key is making sure the deal stands on its own:• Will it cash flow even after the refi?

The newer the property the better.
