With that, I want to ensure that my approach to real estate is starting with the niche that generates faster returns from the beginning) as a rough example:I can buy Focal Utopia headphones for 8K or I can buy headphones from kmart for $25.

Given the rate environment and pricing in many metro areas, a lot of investors are shifting their strategy slightly to make numbers work—curious to hear your approach!

One thing I’ve learned in land acquisition is that the approach has to change depending on the market.

You can create boards for each property and track updates, tasks, and improvements visually.Property Management Software: Some users also leverage software like Appfolio or Buildium for more comprehensive tracking, though these can come at a cost.It really depends on your preference for simplicity versus more structured systems.

Quote from @Grace Tapfuma: @Benjamin Aaker, who would manage those properties if I am hoping for a more hands off approach?
