On that playing field, everyone's costs go up just to stay in the game, only to end up in exactly the same place competitively.Better to spend the money on acquiring (or trading up to) properties with really defensible differentiators like a great view, great location, or lots of bedrooms.  

That field is kind of misleading.  

We feel it's a great opportunity, but we both are very green in the field of rental properties.

What are the changes you noticed in the field compared to 90s?

I want to link up with some people to connect and share some insights in the field.

It's a promising field with many opportunities for growth and financial success.

Then you aren't fielding random phone calls and can respond during business hours.

This entails building personal/working relationships with people successful in the field.

I'd love to learn more from someone who's an expert in the field.
