I am currently paying additional principal ($4000-5000 per month) spread out to most of the properties but was wondering if it will be better to apply all of the additional payments to one of the house pay it off and then move to another house?

For flippers, it’s about having enough spread after ARV, holding, and closing costs.Story: Location, tenant profile, and condition all matter — but they’re usually what explain the numbers, not what drive the decision.If you’re sourcing consistently, the best way to win buyers over is to get really good at running a clean analysis (purchase price, rehab estimate, ARV, exit strategy).

What truly matters is the spread between your cap rate and your interest rate.Example:Cap rate = 6.75%Interest rate = 6.5% You’re cash flowing, even at high rates.Now compare that to 2021:Cap rate = 4.5%Interest rate = 3.5% Low rate, but also lower returns.

Bonus depreciation basicsBonus depreciation applies to any rental property when you do a cost segregation study.It lets you front-load the depreciation on items with shorter useful lives (appliances, flooring, fixtures, etc.) instead of spreading them out over decades.The key isn’t whether it’s short-, medium-, or long-term — it’s whether the property qualifies as a rental for tax purposes.2.

Middle TN fix & flip market is still showing solid spreads in a few key spots.

Even with low inventory, it feels like there are still pockets where the spreads work if you move quickly. 

Nashville’s core has definitely tightened up, and savvy investors are finding better spreads just outside the city.Middle TN still offers solid flip potential if you’re sharp on your numbers and local trends.

Even with tighter spreads, I’m seeing investors find momentum by focusing on flips that check these boxes:[] Strong ARV supported by comps[] Cosmetic rehabs (paint, floors, landscaping) that add quick value[] Areas with high buyer demand but low updated inventoryFor those flipping in today’s market:- How are you keeping projects profitable as costs shift?

When you factor in all the other costs, there's no profit spread left.

What's the ARV or spread after?
