So I am barely going to make anything that's made the deal worth it.

But if you're pulling it out and it sits in a savings account or goes into a deal that barely breaks even after you close and get it rented, you're just making your current property worse off.

Right now, I’m placing the heaviest stress test on insurance premiums and property taxes, rather than just vacancy or rent dips.In many markets, we've seen insurance rates jump 20-40% year-over-year, which can kill a DSCR ratio overnight if you’re barely scraping by at a 1.20.

It would be BARELY sufficient for a single 1 bedroom unit and not even ideal for that.

Appreciation favors larger assetsIf you are buying based on numbers, more doors equals more ability to force appreciation through rent growth.Raise rents across four units and the value jumps meaningfully.Raise rents on two units and it barely moves the needle.5.

I'm barely living paycheck to paycheck but I'm great full living close to commute to work.

hello I have been learning a lot about the BRRRR strategy and Its seems like a great way to grow a wealth during the years as my goal is to maximize my capital in a decade from nowa main way if not the biggest to create the highest grow of my money is to have a good appreciation but as I was investigating where is the best market to invest i went to the macro appreciation for the last 3 years and even last year,(the last 10 years been amazing but a lot of bad changes went I the last years for the BRRRR investors such as end of corona, mortgage rate, insurance is some areas, many great years which create a fix now) and the numbers for median property unit were awful between negative to barely increasing (Zillow) so I stopped for a second to think, is the BRRR strategy is still a great way to start investing in 2026, I know there is renovation and force appreciation in the rehab and some places even good cash flow can create  good return on your money but still for looking to create the biggest wealth you need appreciation as a main key (correct me if I'm wrong) so would really appreciate some opinions and thoughts

Quote from @Jimmy Rojas: If you are barely starting out in RE investment and have no contacts its hard to find good deals on property, most of the good deals posted in zillow, redfin and similar are already sold by the time you call about the property, im in the used car business , private auctions like manheim, metro, adesa, penske or dealers of the south west, you have to be associated with actual dealership and licensed to attend and bid, most cars sell below trade in , they come in all kinds of condition, you make your profit selling at retail or even private party if you got the vehicle on the low end, is there something similar for investing in property? 

At the bare minimum, you should do the following to make your bookkeeping easier:1.
