I started with zero. No properties. No connections. No team. Just a W-2 and a plan. Today I own 65 rental units across 34 properties in Illinois. All single family. All BRRRR or buy-and-hold. I self-manage every single one of them. No property manager. No employees. The Numbers (as of Feb 2026): - 80 total units - 70 occupied, 10+ in rehab - Approaching $100K in gross rent / month - 12+ active BRRRR deals in the pipeline - Total pipeline ARV: $3 mil+ - Licensed real estate agent in Illinois What I Have Learned: 1. The MAO formula is everything. Discipline on entry price is what makes BRRRR work. 2. Rehab management is the hardest skill. Finding good contractors will make or break you. 3. Self-managing is possible at scale if you build systems (RentRedi is my platform of choice). 4. The refinance is where the magic happens. Get your cash back, repeat. 5. You do NOT need a team to start. You need a formula and consistency. This community exists because I wish I had something like this when I started. No $5,000 coaching programs. No guru BS. Just a community of people actually doing deals and sharing what works. Drop your story below. Where are you in your journey?

Every deal I look at gets the same 5-minute test. If it does not pass, I move on. Step 1: ARV Pull 3-5 comps within 0.5 miles. Similar size, condition, sold in last 6 months. Step 2: MAO Formula MAO = (ARV x 0.70) - Rehab Costs Example: ARV = $230K, Rehab = $50K, MAO = $111K Step 3: Cash Flow Check Rent - PITI must be $400+/door minimum. Step 4: Rehab Tier Light: $20-30K | Medium: $40-60K | Heavy: $60-80K+ I cap rehab at $100K. Template for Posting Deals: - Address or area - Asking Price - Estimated ARV - Estimated Rehab - Expected Rent - Your MAO calculation Drop your next deal below and I will run the numbers with you.
