Be a mentee under someone in the game, add value to them by being their assistant, or doing a task involved in the deal in exchange for equity.

Once you sub out all the tasks is there really enough $$ to justify it?

I’m sure people who own multiple STRs have all the tasks memorized on what do prior to closing and post closing and before going live. 

Then if I need to do real estate things during business hours I can, and I sleep around those tasks and my night shift.

In part for delegation of tasks but in large part, to feel reassured of what they are doing. 

If any investors, realtors, wholesalers in the Columbus area has been thinking to themselves, "I have a lot of little tasks like touring properties, checking on contractors, following up with potential clients but I can't find the time to do these things".

I have completed this multiple times and hit my goals every time because it forces you to break down your goals into smaller daily tasks. 

Some items entail action from the client but most of it is backend tasks that need done.

For those seeking a bit more adventure, there's the BRRRR method – Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance.

My suggestion would be to expand your network of wholesalers unless you're inclined to take on the tasks yourself (such as calling, driving for dollars, marketing, etc.).
