Plus differences in management style and financial input.

The dollar amount someone is willing to pay entirely depends on the mentees goals, communication style and learning approach.

It's not like in the US where you have the cash-flowing low appreciation Mid Western-style and the negative cash flow high appreciation Californian-style market.

I'm sure you can agree the property management style differs depending on the answer!

One can also or should also take into account the emotional/mental and life style factors that may come into play too since everyone has different preferences on what they'd like to do with their free mind / time space.I think for some the 14 hours is more than acceptable however if a person was willing to trade that 14 hours and perhaps reduce it  down to 20-30 minutes of calls/emails per month by hirining a professional manager it may make sense as well depending on the cost.

I installed a cassette style mini split on a ~600sqft project of mine.

For example, I'm interested in a 3/2 ranch style house built in the 1960s.

Talk to people doing that style of investing - but instead of asking them the technical know how questions - ask them their opinions of their experience.

Hard money style is faster and more efficient .

So, no down-side and only upside potential to take this opportunity to EVLOVE your communication style, to accept the leadership role you MUST hold, and communicate like a leader.
