They are now moving out and we want to return a portion of the security deposit back to the tenant however RentRedi doesn’t allow any type of financial return after 180 days.

The reason I am interested in doingthis is I  bought a flip where the seller needed the proceeds to pay for her memory care, and it was like $10,000 a month for her care!!!!

At $400K purchase price and $20K net, the returns are thin.

So you should definitely check them out, maybe get in a conversation to understand their monthly returns for long-term projects.

The first call rarely closes the deal.The money is in structured follow-up.How are you tracking your follow-ups right now — CRM, spreadsheet, or memory?

Am I aiming too low with 6% return?

I’ve stepped back from active acquisitions largely because the numbers I’m seeing don’t resemble what I’ve historically required, as well as other business and life commitments.That said, I’d like to put this capital to work.Ideally, my investment would have:15%+ annual ROI target cash flow.Ongoing time commitment of 0–10 hours per weekMy current position:Willing to invest upfront time if the ongoing commitment becomes minimalOpen to both long-term wealth building and/or strong cash flow (A blend of both, or strong on one side, and less on the other).Paths I’m Considering:Acquiring additional rentals (if strong returns are still realistic in certain markets or niches)Private lending / hard money lendingPurchasing performing or non-performing notesTax liens / tax deedsFunding flips or partnering with operators Real estate syndications or crowdfunding (though I question whether 15%+ is realistic here)Current obstacles:For buying potential rentals / distressed properties / flips - Locating potential deals. 

Her health has also been declining at a rapid rate and she's losing her memory.

I had NO idea what I was doing when I first started...BUT, that's not a big admission because I think we've all been there.The real admission is different.This is total CRINGE memory looking at this above.

Squatters can get keys from a previous tenant -- or the "previous" tenant can just return and become a squatter.
