@Kyle Cooper I won't ever own a home with a pool unless I'm grown with a wife and kids and we are all able to enjoy it to where the opportunity far outweighs the cost.

Not that you can't do it, just have those conversations ahead of time so you know what your options are and always have multiple exit strategies.My wife and I host a virtual meetup and we did about an hour on BRRRR refinancing a couple months ago if you want an overview.

This way I'll net $10k, but I do need two cars since my wife, son and I share two cars for school and work.

My wife and I live right on the NC/VA line and are looking to start trying to build a portfolio in real estate.

I have a tenant in Los Angeles in a rent controlled unit which was initially rented to a husband and wife.

My wife and I have been doing research to determine the best place for us to start buying rentals to hold long term for cash flow.

Therefore, after a few discussions with the wife, we decided that we will sell the single house and use that money to buy a few more multi-family in the next 2 to 3 years utilizing the profit.

I just want to get a little insight from some of you amazing people.My wife and I just purchased our first home for $70,000.

The other homes had not been remolded for decades but we proposed doing a modern renovation and the board approved of it, started off shaky at first but as time went on I think they realized we were trying to help the neighborhood and build a beautiful home.Definitely think talking to the board beforehand and getting to know people face to face helped a lot in this deal.Here are the numbers:$170,000 Purchase Price$8,000 Closing Cost$4,000 Holding Cost$75,000 Renovation (new: roof, siding, windows, front porch, back deck, HVAC, floors, kitchen, two baths, trim, paint, doors)$20,000 Selling Costs$315,000 Sale Price$38,000 profit.Some pictures, more can be seen on my website: kenbuyshouses.net
