Data and not opinion if you want a meaningful session which strategies are worth anyone's time.Till then I absolutely respect your difference in opinion, but I will still tell you "You are wrong".Bring numbers, not opinion to add value to this.

@Slaiman Atayee I don't think I understand the financing for the initial purchase - is it correct that you're using a "private lender" that is requiring 2 points, 20% "down" (from you?)

Initially, I was really worried about the 45 day period on finding the 3 properties I wanted to purchase, but I was able to find this property within the first week of the 45 days.The Rehab and Renting:The property closed the week before Thanksgiving, I called my GC to get started.

Learning as I get into this to keep my initial cost down. 

I initially put $46,000 into the property.

After knocking the initial msrp of $1000, being an opened box appliance and a floor model, I talked down the fridge $300 for a today pickup.Not going to lie I got an adrenaline rush from this type of negotiating too and also wished I asked for more.Anyways, what are your usual ways of saving money when it comes to upgrading your appliances in units?

Considering my vested share, estimate of repairs, and other costs, I was going to make initial offer between $1.0-1.1M.

I have done some short term rentals here in Tahoe after the regulations were passed and initially got a letter from the city telling me to shut it down or a fine would be issued.

They have a dog but didn't put down a pet deposit when they initially moved in a few years ago.

The house is in a private country club neighborhood (Country club dues- $7,000 initiation +$500/mo).
