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?

Quote from @Alexis Vasquez Hernandez: Hey BiggerPockets,Wanted to share a quick experience and see if anyone else has been running into the same thing.I was looking at a flip in Houston recently that looked solid on paper & the comps supported a decent spread, but by the time I factored in rehab and holding costs, the numbers got way tighter than expected.

I had one tenant who on a few occasions would pay whatever they could afford for the present month and spread the rest out over the following 3 or 6 months.

I could do a fix & flip, STR, rental just about anything you do with a house.That’s why you need money to do Subject To, the right way, wisely & legally.If you would like a copy of the spreadsheet so you can calculate your potential profit when you do Subject Tos, and how much money you should be working with, send me a DM with your email address (don’t post it here, that’s crazy to do ;-) ) and I’ll send you the spread sheet.

Don't spread yourself too thin.

Inventory feels really tight, and I know a lot of investors who are struggling to get their hands on something with good numbers.I’m full-time in the DFW market and constantly seeing off-market properties come through — some with really strong spreads and comps — so I’m curious: are you guys still finding good deals, or has competition made it harder lately?

Columbus is one of the few cities where you can still get good spreads and it’s also super investor-friendly, so a lot of people are doing both flips and long-term holds.

My current project is a 4/2 bought off market with a good spread.

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.

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?
