But today's episode challenges you to flip that mindset: what if it’s not maintenance at all, but resident reinvestment? In this episode of The Real Estate Fast Pass Podcast, Jimmy breaks down how reframing “maintenance” as an investment in your residents leads to stronger portfolios, happier tenants, and a bigger bottom line. You’ll learn the math behind the 10% reinvestment rule, why a $5,000 make-ready can yield a 21% ROI, and how many doors you actually need to join the top 2% of investors. Whether you’re stuck at your first rental or scaling toward financial freedom, this conversation will give you the mindset shift—and the numbers—you need to grow. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why “maintenance” is a limiting word, and how to replace it with “resident reinvestment” The 10% rule every investor should follow to stay profitable long-term How a $5k rehab can generate consistent rent bumps and serious ROI Why scaling to 20 doors is the key to wealth and long-term sustainability How to stop treating repairs as sunk costs—and start using them as wealth-building tools About Jimmy Vreeland Jimmy graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, spent 5 years as an Army Ranger, and deployed three times twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan.
