2025 is in the books! I published my full 2025 Annual Report here (with previous years available at the bottom of this page.)
In 2026, things started very smooth. I had only one quick, cheap turn through August, and I had banked nearly $18K of surplus to my cash flow projections. But the good times couldn’t last: I gave most of that back in September when I paid for two turns (one of which was my first ever rehab at Property #1, and it was a BIG one), while at the same time several tenants ran into payment trouble — as of October, I have two evictions in process on top of one already completed this summer.
Despite the carnage, I’m still ahead of my cash flow projections for the year, with a reasonable chance of ending the year that way (depending on the outcome of those two evictions in process.)
NOTE: The reduction in expected monthly cash flow in 2026 vs. 2025 reflects significant increases in both insurance costs and property taxes I experienced in 2025. I expect insurance increases to be more muted going forward, and property tax adjustments are only made in Memphis every four years, so I’m good there for a while.
