Jack Hamm Is rent by the room worth it?

What to look for in a good rent-by-the-room propertyThis matters a lot:• At least 3–4 legal bedrooms• Two or more bathrooms• A layout where bedrooms don’t share thin walls• Plenty of parking• A common area large enough for multiple people• A location near hospitals, colleges, or job centers• A basement or attic that can be finished legallyAnd most important:A floor plan where rooms feel private.Privacy is what keeps tenants staying longer.My honest adviceAt your age, with energy and time on your side, this strategy can fast-track you if you treat it like a business.But don’t do it blindly.Tour existing co-living houses in your area.Study your local ordinance.Model the extra expenses and the extra time.Room-by-room renting works, but it works because the operator is organized, not because the property magically prints money.

William Thompson What Most Investors Forget After the Refinance (The “Silent Killer” of BRRRR Deals)
12 November 2025 | 3 replies
Everyone talks about the excitement of the refinance — pulling cash out, locking in new terms, and getting ready to repeat the process.But here’s what I’ve seen a lot of investors forget:What happens after the refi matters just as much as before it.Once you refinance, your numbers change — your basis, your loan interest, and your depreciation schedule.Most people never revisit their books or update their records after closing, and it slowly creates a mess.You’d be surprised how often investors forget to:Recalculate depreciation based on new cost basisAdjust their loan amortization and interest deductionsTrack how much cash was actually pulled out vs. reinvestedThose little details might not seem important now, but they can cause major confusion (and extra taxes) down the line — especially when you go to sell or refinance again.The BRRRR method works beautifully if your backend systems stay clean.So when the refi funds hit, take a breather, update your records, and make sure your financials tell the full story.That’s how you stay scalable, organized, and audit-proof.Curious — how do you stay on top of your numbers after the refinance?
